Newly diagnosed T1D or new to Barton this year? Know someone who would love to attend camp? We have a “first time camper” program for both boys and girls who would like to attend one of our overnight sessions at Camp Joslin in Charlton, MA! The Wing Trust is continuing to provide scholarships to first-time male campers for a 1 or 2-week session. New this year, we have scholarships for first-time female campers provided generously by the Shoolman Trust. Please call or email info@bartoncenter.org for additional details.

We have weekend programs for children ages 6-16. Join us for an extended five-day Winter Camp program in December, Color Wars Weekend in February, or Barton Gold Rush Camp in April. We also offer family programs such as our Fall Family Weekend in November and our Springtime Family/Caregiver Camp in March.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR CLARA BARTON CAMP AND CAMP JOSLIN: We will be running one coed resident camp program this summer: Clara Barton Camp & Camp Joslin Coed Camp. The intention is to hold the program at Camp Joslin taking full advantage of the newly renovated cabin and three new cabins being built. As staffing continues to be challenging, this will allow us to properly staff and run programs that are fun and safe and to provide the best diabetes camp experience possible. We have every intention in 2025 to operate both Clara Barton Camp and Camp Joslin. 

Support one of our campaigns on Classy. This is an easy way to fundraise to support camp programs or make online donations directly to the campaign of your choice including our new Special Occasions campaign. 

Check out our online camp store for camp apparel and other merchandise. We have Camp Joslin and Clara Barton Camp shirts, hoodies, joggers, and many other items to choose from, even including a baby onesie. Each item can be ordered in an assortment of colors.
