Coronavirus and camp
Amid the ever-changing reality of coronavirus, Gales Creek Camp is making contingency plans for the summer.

We want our families to know that, because camp happens in a close community, we’ve always taken great care to develop and maintain medical practices to address a variety of communicable diseases, both common and rare.

While we already have communicable disease plans in place, our Medical Committee (made up of practicing doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals) will be evaluating and revising them in cooperation with public health authorities as additional COVID-19 guidance is provided. 

At this point, it's too early to know what the summer will look like, but we will continue to keep our families updated as new information becomes available.

While it is the very last thing we would want, if camp is not able to take place this summer, all campers will be given the option of a refund or credit for next year. So continue to make plans for camp!

When camp does start, we remind parents and camp staff to not come to camp it you have any symptoms of illness or if you have recently come into contact with anyone with COVID-19.

Gales Creek Camp will continue our regular pre-camp and arrival day health screening procedures that we conduct each session—and we will update these health and wellness screening policies and procedures to reflect the current best practices recommended by public health authorities.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the Gales Creek Camp Foundation office at (503) 968-2267.
New! GCC Fest, an outdoor music festival celebrating the T1D community
Thanks to our amazing GCC community, we're launching a music festival celebrating GCC and some of our wonderful diabetes care partners. GCC Fest is coming June 6 to the Junction City Beer Station !

This all-ages outdoor event will feature some awesome Oregon bands (donating their time!), fun food trucks, and prize raffles that benefit Gales Creek Camp directly!

This event coincides with Function 4 Junction so it's going to be a big party!

If you or your company would like to help sponsor this event or donate a raffle or silent auction item, contact us today ! Huge thanks to the event organizer, camper dad Mark Sullivan!

Join us for this free festival June 6, 2020 in Junction City, OR, at the Junction City Beer Station!
Camp Cleanup Day and Open House is May 30, 2020
Every year in the late spring, we wake camp up from the long, wet winter. We need your help!

We've created a list of specific jobs so you can sign up for whatever works best for you. We have everything from washing windows to organizing arts supplies. Click here to sign up for 2020!

Without wonderful volunteers, it wouldn't be possible to complete all the work necessary each year to keep Gales Creek Camp maintained and safe for the kids who need it so much! Thank you!
We start at 9am sharp and work until about noon.
Then it's time for the Summer Kickoff Open House. New families, veteran families, and all supporters are welcome! Families and visitor will join our volunteers for an outdoor lunch (including veggie and gluten-free options), with plenty of no/low-carb beverages.

Adult Camp Retreat is August 29-30, 2020
Gales Creek Camp's fantastic weekend event for adults affected by type 1 diabetes (and their family and friends) includes the authentic camp experience with some adult twists, including workshops on living with T1D and a gourmet dinner with seriously good wine, kombucha, local mineral spirits, beer, and other no-carb beverages.

The event is a fundraiser to support Gales Creek Camp Foundation's mission to ensure all children with type 1 diabetes have access to camp. Whether you're a GCC alum ready to give back or you were diagnosed with T1D as an adult and want to meet others in your community, we hope you can make it!

Registration opens in May.
