CAMP JACK IS BACK!

2023 Camping Season

Our mission is to foster friendships among children with diabetes, their siblings, and friends through a safe, active program while enabling them to learn about and manage the common challenges of diabetes.

Who is it for? Youth with diabetes, ages 5 through 14, their siblings, and their friends who benefit from hands-on learning experiences in Type 1 diabetes management and support within the fun and welcoming environment of a comprehensive summer camp.

Why Camp Jack? The program’s small enrollment and staff-to-camper ratio ensure a safe and high-quality camp program in which the campers receive plenty of supervision from exceptional role models, take part in a variety of camp experiences, and learn something new every day.

Program activities include games, arts and crafts, nutrition and diabetes education, swimming, and outdoor fun in multiple athletic fields.

The following ensure your camper’s health and safety while they enjoy camp:

• Registered Nurse (RN) on site
• Local pediatrician as the Camp Health Care Consultant
• Staff trained by a Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE)
• Staff members certified in CPR and First Aid
• Policies and procedures in compliance with the MA Department of Public Health
• Designated blood glucose testing time and location
