Kiki's Kids Camp - Camps for Children with Diabetes

Kiki's Kids Camp

Shorter College

This year's camp will be June 4-7 at Shorter College. For more information or to request an application, please call Floyd Healthcare Foundation at 706.509.3290 or e-mail.

Each summer, Floyd Healthcare Foundation offers a traditional day camp designed to meet the special needs of young people, ages 6-12, who have diabetes.

Activities like hiking, swimming, tennis, volleyball, nature and crafts are provided along with educational sessions to help campers understand more about diabetes and develop independence and self-discipline in their approach to living with diabetes.

The funds for this program are provided by a Heritage Circle gift by the late Angelique (Kiki) Petrople, a pediatric nurse in our community who had diabetes. Her estate gift makes possible Kiki's Kids Camp each summer and provides funds to purchase supplies for diabetic children in need.
