Camp Kudzu offers two weeklong overnight camps for children living with type 1 diabetes ages 8-16, and a Counselor In Training (CIT) program for young adults ages 17-18. Children from all over Georgia come to camp to have fun, learn more about managing their diabetes and make friends who are also experiencing life's challenges of living with diabetes.

Two Weeks of Summer Camp in 2008. . .Two Great Locations!
We are again providing session one of camp at Camp Twin Lakes in Rutledge, Georgia, located about 45 minutes east of Atlanta. Situated amid 300 wooded acres, Camp Twin Lakes is complete with 30 camper cabins, two lakes, numerous recreational facilities, an amphitheatre and a state-of-the-art medical lodge.
Camp Kudzu's second session of summer camp will be in the beautiful North Georgia Mountains at Camp Barney Medintz in Cleveland, Georgia (75 miles N.E. of Atlanta). Covering more than 500 acres, the camp facility is an authentic rustic summer camp complete with two mountain lakes and streams. It showcases the natural environment -- with "open-air" styled buildings -- and provides the most incredible activities and outdoor adventures.
We are pleased to tell you about Bunk1’s secure, easy to use, Bunk Notes Service. Bunk Notes provides you an email-based way to send mail to your camper all week! Click the link below to register.

Cabins, Counselors and Kids . . .
Campers are assigned to cabin groups based on age and gender. A typical cabin has eight campers, two counselors and a cabin medic. Counselors and medics lead their cabin groups through a fun-filled week of activities, while helping the children to safely manage their diabetes.
The Doctor Is In.
Each cabin group is assigned a clinician and an endocrinologist. Dieticians supervise meals, teach carbohydrate counting and ensure proper nutrition. These diabetes professionals work as a team to monitor blood sugars, deliver and adjust insulin levels, help campers manage their diabetes throughout the week, and teach the children how to live longer, healthier lives.
Relax . . . Be Yourself.
Many of our campers say that Camp Kudzu is the one place where they feel "normal". At camp, the children feel like they don't have to explain themselves or live differently from their peers. Everyone checks blood sugars, takes insulin by injection or pump and counts carbohydrates. At Camp Kudzu, you can just be yourself and know that all of your friends understand what you're going through.
