Bearskin Meadow Camp

I worked here this past summer, all summer and I have to tell you this is the most magical place on earth.
Bearskin Meadow is ran by the Diabetic Youth Foundation (DYF) and it has a long history of aiding children and families with Diabetes whether it be Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. The camp is set among the beautiful wilderness where there is no cell phone reception and has a whole lot to offer for those of us with diabetes. This place changed my life, I went 8 years of not knowing any one with diabetes to having an abundance of friends with diabetes. I also know I affected many families of kids with diabetes and that is what this camp is about. This camp supplies support to people with diabetes.
You get to sleep under the stars, there are cabins for those who need to sleep inside but there are decks for the rest of us. Every day starts at 7:30 and ends around 9:30. We do our best to keep your kids safe and help them with their diabetes, whether it be having learn to give their own shots or being an ear for them to vent about what they are going through. There are kids camps and teen camps, all have their different activities. There is just so much to say about this place, I am just sad that I never found out about it until I was 22, 8 years into having diabetes. If you have diabetes or a child with diabetes look into this place,
is their website and they have other year round programs that are just as wonderful as this place.
