A summer where kids with type 1 diabetes thrive.
At Barton, kids build confidence, independence, and lifelong friendships—all in a medically supported camp environment designed just for them.
Camp is more affordable than you think.
We know cost is one of the biggest questions for families. Tuition covers only about half of what it takes to run camp—and financial assistance is available for many families.
Each year, hundreds of campers attend with support—from first-time camper scholarships to needs-based aid and community sponsorships.
Wondering if your child is ready for camp— or if you are?
It’s normal to feel unsure—especially when your child has medical needs. At Barton, our experienced staff (many living with type 1 themselves) support campers every step of the way, helping them gain independence in a safe, structured environment.
