A summer camp for kids with diabetes is helping them feel less alone, and more families can still sign up before spots run out.

• A Hawaii camp for kids with type 1 and type 2 diabetes lets campers practice managing blood sugar and carb counting alongside peers facing the same daily routine.
• Parents say the camp connects newly diagnosed families with support right away, and kids come back every year wanting to go again.
• Medical staff are on site around the clock, so kids can relax and have fun while staying safe.
• The camp is open to ages 8 to 17, including neighbor island families, with travel help available through a partnership with Kaiser Permanente Hawaii.
• A related free community event the next day will cover diabetes prevention and obesity in Hawaii.

Outlook: Registration is first-come, first-served, with the camp running November 8-11 and a follow-up community event on November 12.
