Winter Camp
December 26-30, 2023
Coed, Ages 6-16
Cost: $500 per person
Click here for online registration or PDF Fall, Winter, Spring brochure.
PLEASE NOTE: Per our COVID-19 protocols, all campers are highly recommended to be vaccinated. Staff are required to be vaccinated and boostered prior to the start of camp.
Winter is no time to hang out inside. Not when there are so many unique and cool things to experience at this five-day program. We’ll create works of art, build snow sculptures, and learn how to survive in the cold like arctic explorers. Need to warm up? We will head inside to try some tabletop ice hockey, indoor sock skating, and ice magic. Get a chance to try snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. No snow? No worries, we’ll make some of our own!
You may bring one friend or sibling without diabetes who must also register.
Under the guidance of our health care team and professionals, breakout education sessions and discussions in a stress-free environment will be included but separated into two age groups:
Ages 6-12: Judgement-free zone where campers can talk about their own challenges with diabetes.
Ages 13-16: Teen talks will include topics such as college, drugs, sex, and alcohol for those with diabetes. Judgement-free zone where campers can talk about these difficult subjects as well as their own challenges with diabetes.
Note: This program begins and ends at 1 p.m.

This camper favorite has returned for a special winter edition! The Generals of the different teams have decided to tie this year’s Color Wars into the Winter Olympics, so this weekend will feature an Olympic twist. Campers will be given their assigned team prior to the program so that they may pack accordingly. On Friday, teams will join together to strategize and create banners and cheers for their teams. Throughout the weekend, teams will battle for Olympic points through various activities, and will also be taking some breaks from the competition to come together to share and learn through our education sessions. On Sunday, all teams will be presented with a special treat to commemorate their performance and solidify them in history during the first Winter Color Wars Weekend!
