We want to give you an update on the summer. We are currently in the process of updating cabins at Camp Joslin – an exciting and much needed upgrade to allow for newer, larger cabins that will also have their own bathrooms and showers. However, due to construction delays and supply chain issues, construction will still be underway during the summer program. After much consideration, we believe that for the safety of all and for the best camp experience, Camp Joslin will be held at Clara Barton Camp this summer.

Our summer 2023 programs are open for registration. Please click here for online registration or PDF materials to print and mail to us. Paper applications were mailed to recent campers. Please click here for our calendar of programs. We offer one- and two-week resident camp programs, day camps in multiple locations, and an adventure program. Campers can create a Barton fundraising page and begin raising funds for their 2023 summer camp fee. To get started on your fundraising page, please click here. NEW: Campers attending Sessions 4, 4A, and 4B at both Clara Barton Camp and Camp Joslin may now bring a friend or sibling who does not have diabetes with them to these sessions. The friend or sibling will also pay a $50 registration fee and a reduced camp fee. Space is limited for friends and siblings, and no financial aid is available for this group.
We have many weekend programs for children ages 6-16. Join us for an extended five-day Winter Camp program in December, Wizarding World of Camp in February, or Color Wars Weekend in April. If you prefer, we also offer family programs such as our Fall Family Weekend in October for the whole family or our Springtime Family/Caregiver Camp in May.
