Going away for the first time to a sleep-away camp can be challenging for any child. It is even more challenging for a child with diabetes. To assist in helping the parent and child adjust to the experiences at Camp Conrad Chinnock, a Transition Family Camp is available for children 7 to 12 years old and their families. Transition Family Camp immediately precedes Session 2 for the same age group. It begins Saturday morning and ends after breakfast on Monday. Session 2 begins the same day as the Transition Family Camp ends. Ideally, the child with diabetes will stay for Session 2 if the child, parent(s), and camp staff feel it is suitable for the child. As with other the other family camps, families will share a cabin. For activities, meals, snacks, and events, the children with diabetes will be in "cabin" groups by age with a cabin counselor. This cabin counselor would be the same counselor the child would have during Session 2. This unique opportunity enables the child and family to understand how diabetes is managed at camp, the activities available, and develop a relationship with cabin counselors and staff. The weekend even offers a sleep-over in the game lodge with cabin counselors! Mom and dad are able to sleep in the cabin while the child with diabetes is under the watchful eye of the cabin counselor and camp staff. Camp staff even take care of testing blood sugars in the middle of the night and before breakfast! When registering for this session, please also sign-up the child with diabetes in Session 2. If after attending the Transition Family Camp the child is not suitable, the family can cancel the Session 2 registration without penalty
