Campsite
Teen Adventure Camp and Triangle D Camp are 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.

Cost
The cost for each one week session is $770 for ADA members in the Northern Illinois area and $870 for nonmembers in the Northern Illinois area.

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.

Camper Registration

• The American Diabetes Association does not discriminate based on race, creed, national origin, gender, or special needs. Registrations/requests for applications are processed on a first come, first served basis** pending review/acceptance by the medical members of the camp committee.
  
  
• No child is denied the opportunity to attend the camp due to lack of funds.
