Sessions are filling up!


So if you want your kiddo to experience Gales Creek Camp this summer, it's time to sign up now!


Remember, we have financial aid programs for every situation, so if you think cost is a problem, think again. We can also help with other concerns, from needing "camping gear" or shoes, to needing help coordinating a ride.


So just give us a call at 503-968-2267 (that's 503-968-CAMP) or an email.

Got questions about camp?

If you have questions about camp, we've got you covered.


The answers to most questions can be found here, on our FAQ page (including packing lists).


Remember, if you are registered for camp, you will be getting more specific info about your session via email and snail mail leading up to your drop-off date. Meanwhile, we'll keep updating this FAQ page as things change and new questions come in. If you don't find answers there, just give us a call at 503-968-2267 or email us.


Many of these new questions have to do with the amazing new innovations that keep coming in diabetes technology. Here are some basics:


  • Yes, you can bring your pump, CGM, and receiver device! We work with all flavors, but the hardware and software must be FDA approved.


  • Yes, we will be able to monitor Dexcom CGM readings from a central location with alarms active. Parents and caregivers, our doctors and nurses will take over for a week so you can take a break! Zzzzz.


  • Yes, if your cell phone is part of your diabetes management equipment, you can bring that, too. Remember, cell phones can only be used as a medical device. No other use a of cell phone is permitted at camp. It kind of ruins the whole vibe, you know? Check out what our Camp Directors have to say below.

Need parent and caregiver volunteers to be on our Parent Panel


Are you a camp veteran who has seen your kiddo truly benefit from the camp experience? If so, we need your help.


Each year prior to camp, our whole team spends more than a week at camp without any campers, learning everything from how to treat a low to how to play a zillion games. At the end of that week, we convene a Parent Panel to drive home the true impact of our mission. Parents who have watched their child benefit from our program are our best witnesses.


If you can spare some time on June 28 to be at camp around lunchtime, please let us know by calling 503-968-2267 or emailing. You'll get lunch and some free GCC swag from our Camp Store!

Jim's Team wants to send your kid to GCC!


Jim's Team offers Camperships for kids going to summer camp (like GCC!) and scholarships for graduating high school seniors. Apply on their website!
