D-Camp
"At camp, there was a zip line and your butt hit the water when you went over the lake!"
That's our 7-year-old just home from one week at diabetes camp. It was Benny's first extended time away from us. I wasn't concerned about his safety, this is an American Diabetes Association program with docs, nurses and trained staff. I was worried he'd miss home (and, okay, that I'd miss him).
We dropped him off on Sunday. I held out until Tuesday...

I went to a similar camp when I was a newly diagnosed Type 1, almost 40 years ago. Great to hear these are still going on, and young diabetics can gather with others dealing with diabetes. It was one place where I truly felt like an normal kid. Sounds like your son loved it!
