In an unprecedented summer, we had a lot of fun. Let's take a look back.
Watch our amazing campers, volunteers and staff make the best of a summer apart. It taught us that camp isn't just a place, and you don't have to come out to Gales Creek to be part of our community.

Thanks to everyone who had a part in this, from our families and donors to our camp magic-makers and board members. Whatever the future brings, we're going to stick together and make the best of it.
The next "Hope-mongering" parent support session is coming up!

Hope-mongering is a T1D parent and caregiver support program of Gales Creek Camp. We recruit an array of key voices from the T1D community: parents, young adults who grew up with T1D, health coaches, dietitians, T1D doctors and nurses, and of course the GCC summer camp crew.

It's a magic formula for conversation on raising a young person with T1D. We'd love for you to join us and add your voice, or just sit back and listen. Zero pressure.

This time we've recruited those "on the other side" of growing up with T1D. Hear from adult T1Ds and their parents on how the got through it, from childhood and adolescenceand beyond!

This session is November 19 at 7pm. Of course this is a virtual event, and you can join us online or via phone.


Save the date for the next session: December 17

Ask the Experts

We address questions from campers, too.

An anonymous donor family and more than 60 donors stepped up to the matching challenge and together raised more than $20,000 to support the innovative programs of Gales Creek Camp!

If you want to see where those funds go, we invite you to watch the video at the top of this newsletter. ☝
