"As a mother of 2 children with Diabetes, I cannot thank the ADA enough.
Camp Midicha is a unique opportunity for these kids to be with
children
like them. It is a chance for them to
not feel alone, different or less than their peers. At
camp, children with diabetes explore,
swim, hike, and play while knowing that the medical staff will keep them
safe. At camp, everyone has to prick
their finger before meals, everyone has to count their carbohydrates,
everyone
has to get insulin, everyone has to carry fast-acting sugar to treat
lows, and
everyone learns how to live better with a chronic disease. The
sense of community that is built at camp
continues to empower these children throughout the year. Thank
you for making this life-affirming camp
experience possible for children in Michigan."
