Diabetic Camp

June 26 - July 1

The Diabetic Camp will celebrate its 28th Anniversary this year.  Thanks to the help from many of the District 5730 Clubs we will again has a great camp.  Diabetic Camp will be held at the Ceta Glen Christian Camp outside of Happy, Texas.  Children ages 7 - 14 suffering from Diabetes Mellitus are eligible for camp.   Young adults and teenagers over the age of 15 with diabetes are eligible to be counselors and junior counselors.   

At camp, the campers enjoy fun and fellowship with other children while they learn to be independent and deal with the various aspects of their disease.  Activities include games, sporting events and crafts for all ages and skill levels.  Meals and snacks are well planned and supervised by a registered dietician.   District 5730 is privileged to have Dr. M. J. Bourgeois and Dr. S. K. Varma from the Department of Pediatrics at Texas Tech University Health Science Center as co-directors.  They bring with them an experienced staff of nurses and nursing students to assist in providing for the children.

We need your help to make this possible.  Each club in District 5730 is asked to donate at least $500.00 to assist in providing this camp.  Donations can be sent payable to District 5730 Diabetic Club, as well as requests for camper and staff applications to Dr. S. K. Varma or Dr. M. J. Bourgeois, Department of Pediatrics, Texas Tech University, Health Sciences Center, Lubbock, Texas 79430, Phone Number (806) 743-2244 ext. 261.  You can contact Dr. S. K.
