Don't Stop Believin' Tour 2021
Thank you to all the campers and families who joined us for these sessions! It was wonderful to see everyone, and it truly felt like camp. We squeezed a LOT of camp into a very short time, and it was totally worth it.

The summer is over. Long live the summer!

See you next year.
Special thanks to our summer 2021 supporters:
Last chance to shop the Camp Store for summer 2021!
In you missed the sweet 2021 Camp Store swag (or in case our credit card machine wasn't cooperating in person) you still have a chance to pick up some great GCC gear!

September parent support session: Let's talk about BACK TO SCHOOL!
Short promo from our pervious session with Dr. Jill Weissberg-Benchell. Sometimes the sessions feel like a presentation, sometimes an interview, sometimes a panel, but always a conversation.
It's back to school time! We're talking about getting back into the swing of things, from 504 Plans to CGMs. Join the conversation.

September 16 @ 7pm Click here to register

All children with diabetes should be medically safe at school and in other care settings, be treated fairly, and have access to the same educational and related opportunities as their peers.

This conversation will cover:

  • General overview of 504 Plans and accommodations, including transitions into middle school and high school (e.g., why would I still need a 504 if my teen is independent?)
  • COVID and school accommodations
  • Diabetes tech and schools
  • Q and A

Our guest will be Laura Keller, a Director of State Government Affairs for the American Diabetes Association, overseeing nine states (AZ, AK, ID, MT, NM, OR, UT, WA, Washington DC) She has been with the ADA for over 21 years, serving in government affairs, fundraising, and youth programs. Laura’s ADA camp name is “Coral” because she loves the ocean and has lived healthy with type 1 diabetes for over 21 years. 

Laura will also bring a diabetes educator who does school trainings to help answer questions.

This "Hope-mongering" parent support session is September 16 at 7pm, hosted on Zoom.
