Camp Kakhamela - Celebrating 50 years of diabetes camp!
I am a volunteer with the Canadian Diabetes Association and want to let everyone know of the upcoming celebration for the CDA's "Camp Kakhamela" here in BC. Camp was an amazing experience for me (I still talk about it and it was 30+ years ago)and made me realize that there were lots of other kids having to deal with this disease...If you were a camper, medical staff, volunteer you are welcome to come out and celebrate...
September 15th 11:30am-4:00pm at the Richmond Olympic Oval

Do you have any information about these camps?? It's the first I have heard of it and it might be something our little guy might like to do.

I second what SuzP said , Theo ...do give Canadian Diabetes Ass'n , Vancouver a call ? ...I think one has to have reached the age of 7 to attend Camp ??...it gives Caregivers ( Moms and Dads ) a very important break too !
