Campsites
Teen Adventure Camp is held at Covenant Point Bible Camp, located on the scenic shores of Hagerman Lake in Iron River, Michigan. Bus service is provided from two Chicaoland locations.

Triangle D Camp is held at YMCA Camp Duncan, a 400 acre setting on semi-private Fish Lake on Route 12 just north of Route 120 in Ingleside, Illinois (map). Parents are responsible for transportation to and from camp.

Camp Education Programs
Teen Adventure Camp and Triangle D Camp combine a program of summer activities with a program of diabetes education and support. Both components are designed to challenge each child to reach toward their maximum potential, both mentally and physically. The campers are actively involved in managing their diabetes. Goals for campers include improved self-esteem, taking responsibility for diabetes management, and social adjustment in a new setting away from home.

Camp Activity Program

Swimming Archery Ropes Course Games

Sailing Canoeing Nature Hikes Crafts

The activities are planned for the interest and skill level of each age group and are designed to provide new and different experiences for campers each year.

Meal Plan
The camp meal plan is consistent with the current recommendations of the American Diabetes Association based on the exchange system and carbohydrate counting, with modifications in fat, fiber, and salt content. We regret that we cannot accommodate any special diets at camp.

Cost
The cost for each one week session is $750 for ADA members in the Northern Illinois area and $850 for nonmembers in the Northern Illinois area. The cost for out-of-area campers is $950.

Please DO NOT let the cost stop you from sending us your child's applications--camperships, fee reductions and time payment schedules can be arranged.

Please do not send any payment with the initial application.
