Camp Sweeny diabetic kids camp
Camp Sweeney is a summer camp in Texas for kids with Type I diabetes, which is a genetic condition different than the type II diabetes you see in the news all the time. While it allows kids with diabetes to meet others with similar medical problems, it serves a more important purpose. It's 3 weeks of intense focus on managing their diabetes including everything from blood sugar monitoring to managing their diet. Children often aren't very good at managing their disease, but the damage done by type I diabetes is cumulative. Youthful blunders add up and can lead to blindness, heart trouble, and early death. Intense, focused study on how to manage their disease without the distraction of friends, family, or school lets them learn everything they know so they'll remember when it counts. Additionally, it serves as a training ground for medical students. There's a large medical staff on call at all times, including residents from the nearby children's hospital who get hands on learning with a large number of patients under the supervision of experts. Despite the serious work being done, it IS camp and the kids get to enjoy the usual camp activities like sports, swimming, and theater. |
