Junior Retreat
Junior Retreat
A diagnosis of type 1 diabetes can throw a wrench in being a kid- but it doesn’t have to! Camp Kudzu’s Junior Retreat was created to foster learning and community among our younger campers (3rd-6th grade). During this session, we focus on learning more about type 1 diabetes management through organic conversations and age-appropriate activities, and just being a kid.
This weekend provides time for campers to make new friends, get a taste of what summer camp looks like, and for those who have already attended summer camp, strengthen relationships made during summer camp with a smaller group of peers while exploring the diabetes-related challenges that they likely face every day.
Like our Summer Camp Program, campers are assigned to a cabin for the weekend that is supervised by counselors and a clinician to support their diabetes management.
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 Junior Retreat is $400 per camper, including a non-refundable $100 deposit.
