The camp will have special activities for children, according to age. We will have indoor and outdoor activities, including crafts, archery, sports, rock climbing, horseback riding, canoeing, photo activities, drama, magic, and common socializing games.
Children will participate in activities in groups of 8-10 people. Each group will be supported by an Elf (that's what we call the camp volunteers), who will do their best to make the familiarization with the camp environment as effective as possible. He/she will help the participants to find themselves better in the camp and will play with the children.
When planning the activities we have taken into account that in the Camp all children and teenagers should have a good time and everyone should have unforgettable experiences, which is why each activity is free choice, none of them is compulsory, but we recommend as active as possible involvement. The activities are carried out in compliance with safety regulations, carefully coordinated by trained adults.
This year we are organizing a camp for children and teenagers aged 10-18 with diabetes.
Dear parents!
The cell phone influences our lives in many ways, and we are sure that you have noticed some of the disadvantages that cell phones cause in your daily life. Camps in recent years have drawn our attention to the fact that the current technology - the use of a cell phone to monitor blood glucose - used in the treatment of type 1 diabetes, in addition to its well-known advantages, distracts participants from the activities and interactions with each other.
Since the primary goal of our camp is to provide experience-based therapy, we are constantly trying to re-evaluate situations and consider current options to innovate and make the camp more effective and enjoyable for participants while still achieving its purpose as a behavioral therapy.
Last year in 2024, through effective collaboration, we implemented uniform glycemic monitoring. This eliminated the use of cell phones during camp, but allowed us to be able to track participants' blood glucose in real time. We had at our disposal the Dexcom one continuous glucose monitoring system (sensor, transmitter, receiver). We fitted it to each child when they arrived at the camp. We had positive feedback from both participants and parents about this system.
Participants operating in the Smartguard program or who have a CGMS augmented insulin pump device could stay with their own sensor. In the case of insulin pumps however, since the glycemic readings are also displayed on the insulin pump screen, we would still ask that they come without cell phones to camp.
And of course the participants who want to try the Dexcom One sensor can have this chance. In case the participant has not used a CGM device so far and does not want to use it at the camp, they can opt for glucometer monitoring according to the protocol.
If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact us by e-mail or phone!
