Every year more than 2,000 children and families from throughout the country and around the world participate in The Barton Center for Diabetes Education's year-round, fun-filled summer camp, weekend, school vacation programs, and outreach programs.
Click Here for Picture Galleries.During the summer of 2006, we introduced our new Balance & Stretch program, an innovative program designed to help children live better with diabetes. The program teaches children to "balance" critical components of health and life and "stretch" their limits to achieve personal growth and reach out to help others achieve their potential.

Children and adults alike share the triumphs and tribulations of living with diabetes. Children no longer feel different or alone, and their parents can relax knowing that their sons and daughters are in a safe and secure environment. All programs feature low staff to participant ratios, expert medical staff, well-trained, hard working counselors - many of whom were once campers and have diabetes themselves.
Campers are admitted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Registration for summer camp begins each year in January. Registrations are accepted for year-round programs until each program is full.
Camperships are available for resident camps, day camps, and year-round programs on a first-come, first-served sliding-scale basis. For information regarding financial assistance for any of our other programs, please
contact Lynn Butler, Associate Executive Director and Director of Development.
*Camp Joslin is operated by The Barton Center.
