Camp Until a Cure provides children and teens with Type 1 Diabetes, who might not otherwise attend a traditional camp, a camping experience where they are encouraged, educated and supported. The ultimate goal of Camp Until a Cure is better physical and emotional long-term health for each camper. The Diabetes Youth Foundation of Indiana believes that through Camp Until a Cure: A child or teen with diabetes should not be denied any opportunity because of their disease. A child or teen with diabetes should not be held back, but rather challenged to do the things that a child without diabetes can do. Children and teenagers with diabetes benefit from a support system that helps them manage their condition or disease. Children and teenagers create a support network where they encourage and motivate each other to manage the complexities of living with diabetes. Campers develop interpersonal and social skills and are given the opportunity to make new, lifelong friendships. All of our programs should be open and available to any child in need, regardless of their ability to pay.
