Camp is a magical place.

We are so excited to be heading back to Camp Sealth in 2023. The American Diabetes Association has transformed the lives of thousands of children with diabetes in Washington by empowering them to independently manage their diabetes through Camp Sealth — a week-long, residential summer camp for families with children and teens with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. The camp program includes 24-hour medical supervision, meals and snacks, housing, fun activities, and most diabetes supplies. Camp medical staff provide campers and their families information and skills they need to SUCCESSFULLY LIVE WITH DIABETES in any situation.

The main goal of Camp Sealth is to allow campers and their families to feel at ease and accepted in a community where having diabetes is the rule, not the exception. Families go home feeling more self-confident, self-reliant, and having gained the knowledge they need to LIVE FULL LIVES with diabetes. Many children come to camp not knowing any other people with diabetes, especially kids like themselves. FRIENDSHIPS are made which literally last a lifetime.

The 2023 Seattles Camp Sealth for families with youth with Diabetes will be held on November 3-5 at Vashon Island.
