American Diabetes Association to launch Colorado Day Camp in 2009!
If your child with diabetes is still too young to attend the Camp Colorado residential camp program then you may want to consider the ADA 2009 Day Camp. The Day Camp will be for campers age 5-12 and will be open to siblings and friends as well. Camp will be held for a week (date to be determined) and will begin at 9 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. The week will be full of fun activities for the campers and will include several day trips to local area attractions as well as cool speakers. If you have a child between the age of 5-12 please e-mail April Henderson at aphenderson@diabetes.org to be added to the mailing list. More information to come as plans are solidified!
