“He told me when we were driving home, ‘Mom, every time I’m at camp, I feel the most myself.’ That’s all I needed to hear.”

“The day you leave, you’re constantly thinking about going back, just to spend one more day with people who really understand what it is to be a type 1 diabetic and an athlete. A week later, looking back, I was like — what was I thinking? The second year was even more fun.”

“The connections you make at camp are some you’ll have for a lifetime. There are people from all over the world there to support you and make sure you’re living your life to the best of your ability. I went once and I’ve been back many, many times.”

“The knowledge alone that you all so freely shared was empowering and the community and support
and friendship that you wrapped us in… I don’t even know how to express my appreciation for that. We
are so lucky to have found DTC.”

“Thank you for providing such an incredible experience for my son and family. Before DTC he had never talked with a peer
about his diabetes, never in 4 years. I can’t believe how camp has made him happy and relaxed. If it wasn’t for DTC, I doubt his confidence of his life with T1D would have ever improved.

All the knowledge you taught us is priceless, but what you have given our son in 3 days is impossible to describe. You have changed our lives forever.”
