The talks and time spent with other families really reinforced in us that 'we are not alone' in our fight against diabetes.

At Barton we recognize that diabetes affects the whole family ... Mom, Dad, Brothers, Sisters, Grandparents, and even Uncle Pat! Barton family programs provide an opportune time for strengthening the home "diabetes team," talking one-on-one with our on-site professionals and building new and lasting friendships with other families also impacted by diabetes. Whether you are boating on the pond, playing Dr. Dodge Ball, participating in a diabetes education session or singing in the dining hall ... we hope you will say "WOW - Heaven on earth - Clara Barton Camp is going to be a second home to our family."

Parents, is there a grandparent, aunt, uncle, neighbor, or babysitter, who is willing to look after your child with diabetes "if only they understood what diabetes is all about?"  Or now that you have had time to breathe after your child's recent diagnosis, are you still filled with lots of questions?  Then Caregivers Weekend is the right fit for your family.  Send your child to camp with the caregiver or bring your family for "Diabetes 101 and Diabetes 201."  Everyone will leave camp with a better understanding and knowledge about diabetes and taking care of the ones they love!  Space is limited for one of our most popular programs.   Click here for online registration.
