The American Diabetes Association is proud of its role as the largest organizational provider of services for children and youth in the world. The ADA offers over 50 camping programs in the United States and serves over 10,000 children each summer.

Camp Hendon is a week-long residential camp for children with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It is held at Camp Crooked Creek operated by the Boy Scouts of America. Camp Crooked Creek is located in Shepherdsville, Kentucky in Bullitt County, approximately 30 minutes south of Louisville. The camp site is situated adjacent to the Bernheim Forest and is part of the 1,000 acre Old Kentucky Home Scout Reservation. Campers enjoy meeting other children with diabetes and spending time outdoors while participating in fishing, riflery, hiking, arts and crafts, ropes courses, nature and more! Campers are supervised 24 hours a day by doctors, nurses, dietitians, and counselors thoroughly trained in diabetes management.
The 2008 Camp season is now over.
