To be able to be at camp and learn in a caring environment and to share the challenges of living with diabetes with a friend is the gift of a lifetime.

Clara Barton Camp is the kind of place you never outgrow! Former campers and staff return to The Barton Center each year for Alumni events, to serve as a volunteer for weekend and summer programs, and to help raise campership funds. Barton Alumni keep Camp Barton in their hearts all year round and are committed to "giving back" and ensuring that campers today, receive the same benefits as they did.  Please Stay In Touch so we can keep you connected with your friends and keep you informed of everything Barton!

Alumni Committee
Our Alumni are among our most devoted, generous, and hard working group of supporters. The Alumni Committee is extremely active in helping to stay connected and to raise money to help bring our programs to more participants. If you are interested in serving on the Alumni Committee, please contact Lynn Butler at lynn.butler@bartoncenter.org.

Your ideas and suggestion are welcome! If you would like to help with these events, please contact us. It is not necessary to attend every meeting - some are scheduled via conference call.


Recent Alumni Events
August 25, 2007  Alumni Day

Alumni and their family and friends gathered at camp for a special alumni day in honor of Barton’s 75^th anniversary.  Alumni caught up with old camp buddies and strolled around camp to see both changes and familiar sights.  After lunch, the time capsule was opened, and alumni unwrapped the treasures inside for everyone to view and share memories.  Some alumni and their children opted for a refreshing swim in the pool to beat the sweltering heat of the day.  It was a great day enjoyed by all! To view photos from the event, please click here. 

 If you would like to be part of the fun next year, mark your calendar now and save the date for next year’s Alumni Day on August 23, 2008.
