Going away for the first time to a sleep-away camp can be challenging for any child. It is even more challenging for a child with diabetes. To assist in helping the parent and child adjust to the experiences at Camp Conrad Chinnock, a Transition Family Camp is available for children 7 to 12 years old and their families. Transition Family Camp immediately precedes Session 3 for the same age group. It begins Saturday morning and ends after breakfast on Monday. Session 2 begins the same day as the Transition Family Camp ends. Ideally, the child with diabetes will stay for Session 3 if the child, parent(s), and camp staff feel it is suitable for the child.
