Activity 2

Camp kudzu hosted two family weekend camps, one each in the spring and fall. These weekend programs serve families with newly diagnosed children or children too young to attend summer camp, as well as families who need ongoing support since their children's diabetes has no cure or end date. At family weekend camps, the children enjoy the fun of camp while the whole family receives vital diabetes management education and coping skills for family and school life. Medical professionals are on site throughout the weekend to deliver diabetes management information and to answer specific questions about diet, activity, and emerging trends in glycemic control. Families have the chance to connect and develop friendships that can sustain them long after the weekend ends. Each weekend hosts approximately 30-35 families. The scholarship rate for family weekend programs was 48%.

Activity 3

Camp kudzu continued to offer two teen weekend programs, one serving girls and one serving both boys and girls. The teen girls' retreat emphasized self-empowerment and mindfulness of their health while addressing their social and emotional needs, including teen-specific issues they may not feel comfortable discussing with parents and doctors. Program content ranges from technical diabetes management and nutrition skills to stress reduction techniques and leadership training. The coed program was a winter "high adventure trip" which taught campers how to adapt one's diabetes regimen for new exertion levels. It was also the setting for leadership and team building skills and for gaining an appreciation of the natural environment. 63 teens were served. The scholarship rate for teen programs was 22%.
