PFC
Life
Although Camp Sweeney is only in session during the summer, diabetes doesn’t stop when the school year begins and neither do we. PFC Life keeps campers connected through every season and provides children who haven’t been to Sweeney with the opportunity to connect with peers who know what it’s like to live with type 1. Host families open their homes in communities across Texas for both current and prospective campers to gather and share their highs and lows. These nights of games, laughter, and Sweeney traditions bring Perseverance, Faith, and Courage to life and remind campers that they are never alone.

Following guidance from the local health department and CDC, all in-person PFC Life events will be postponed through March 30. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as additional information becomes available.
Although in-person PFC Life has been paused, Camp Sweeney will be rolling out online “ePFC events” starting Monday, March 23.
Host
Families
In communities across Texas, families volunteer to host PFC Life! events. Campers gather at a designated home on weeknights from 7:30 to 8:30 pm. We also provide nearby coffee shops or restaurants for parents to gather during the event. If you are interested in hosting a PFC Life! event at your home, please contact us at program1@campsweeney.org.
Mobile
Texting
To ensure that PFC Life! remains tailored to our current campers, we use a verified texting system to distribute PFC Life! details. After campers, or parents on their behalf, sign up for this system they will be able receive the location of PFC Life events on their mobile device. In addition to the location of the actual event, we will provide the address of a nearby coffeeshop for parents to meet up at during PFC Life! if they are interested in doing so.
