Mission Statement
Camp Hendon's mission is to give children with diabetes life-changing experiences, empowering each of them to take control of their unique journey.
About This Cause
Camp Hendon provides children with diabetes and their families with tools, education, and support. We do this primarily through two weeks of summer camp for children with diabetes ages 8 - 17. Camp Hendon also provides Family Retreats, Teen Retreats, and year-round opportunities for engagement and connection. In 2019, we welcomed 166 children to our summer camp programs with over 100 volunteer counselors and medical professionals. Our volunteers consist of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, dietitians, diabetes educators, adult diabetics, and passionate community members. The average ratio is 1 volunteer to every 1.5 children. At Camp Hendon, campers do everything that a regular camp does, including swim, hike, archery, games. Meanwhile, campers also receive informal diabetes education in a fun, supportive, non-clinical environment. Most importantly for our participants is the ability to be with other kids just like them. The sense of camaraderie they receive is second-to-none.
