Day Camp
Day Camp
Day Camp is a place where young campers living with type 1 diabetes can learn more about their disease, meet other children who have similar healthcare needs and simply have fun. Campers ages 5-9 years old are eligible to attend our five-day day camp program. Campers arrive at approximately 9:00 am and are picked-up at 4:00 pm each day.
Campers will be placed into groups by age and jump into a full day of activities. The program includes an active day of swimming, sports and games, arts and crafts, trips to the farm, and many more exciting and age-appropriate activities.
Our camper groups will have several Camp Kudzu volunteer counselors, familiar with the needs of children living with diabetes, and a credentialed medical volunteer assigned to them for the week. Each camper will bring his/her own lunch from home and eat after a visit with our clinicians for blood glucose checking and planning on how to manage the carbs in lunch.
Cost
Realizing that different families have different abilities to pay, Camp Kudzu utilizes a tiered fee structure. We instituted this structure to provide the highest quality programs possible, to continue serving all community income levels, and to preserve camp for years to come!
The cost for Day Camp is:
- Tier 3 – $800 (Camp Fee + Pay it Forward to another Camper)
- Tier 2 – $600 (Camp Fee)
- Tier 1 – Minimum Deposit + Awarded Campership
Camperships are available for families and campers in all our programs. Campership applications are included in all online and paper application packets. Families are asked to pay the non-refundable deposit and submit that payment WITH camper and campership application paperwork. Returning campers are eligible for camperships throughout the year.
