The Jack Rua Camp for Children with Diabetes is the only camp in the Greater Fall River community where kids with diabetes, ages 5-14, their siblings and friends benefit from hands-on learning experiences in diabetes management.  This supportive and welcoming environment fosters friendships among children with diabetes through a safe, active program while enabling them to learn about and face the common challenges of diabetes.   We are an accredited member of the American Camp Association, with registered nurses on site, local pediatricians as camp health care consultants, and staff who are trained by a Certified Diabetes Educator, you can be assured our team will make this a wonderful, safe, and fun place for your child this summer.

 

All proceeds from Walking the Distance for Diabetes go directly to support the Jack Rua Camp for Children with Diabetes.  Your continued support allows us to carry on our mission to improve the health and well-being of the kids in our community who struggle daily with diabetes.  Thank you!
