Camp Leo + ConnecT1D is an organization devoted to serving children with diabetes in a fun, safe, educational, and medically sound environment away from home. Children are supported in learning to live a life of health and acceptance with diabetes. The overnight camping experience is a unique chance to meet others facing the same challenges of living with diabetes. A volunteer staff of physicians, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, and counselors are closely involved with the day-to-day activities of the campers to ensure their medical well-being. This dedicated team will enable your children to gain confidence while building self-esteem, allowing them to develop their diabetes self-management skills. Together, we are committed to fostering the transition towards self reliance. With the support of Lion’s Clubs throughout of Western Washington, all campers have the ability to attend camp, regardless of family income. Their scholarship mission states “no child is ever turned away because they can not afford our camp fees." Camp Leo builds life long memories and relationships for people of all ages. They will leave empowered knowing the experience and knowledge gained will serve them for the rest of their lives. Come join in the adventure and see why we call ourselves a “Family”. You’ll not only feel a sense of belonging, but a sense of purpose. So bring your energy and your stories, because at Camp Leo… we honor people with diabetes.
