Camp Sweeney counselors are trained to master the tools of diabetes management, including blood tests and insulin injections. Counselors gain valuable, hands-on experience working both autonomously and with a supportive team of medical professionals.

“When I decided to work at Camp Sweeney I had no idea that it would positively impact my life just as much as the lives of the kids I was serving. Camp Sweeney is not just a physical place, it is a family.”
