CAMP PHILOSOPHY: LEARNING TO LIVE WITH DIABETES

At Camp Morton and Camp Maxwell in the Canadian Province of Nova Scotia, establishing confidence and a sense of security is a primary goal of the camping experience. By meeting and interacting with other children and youth with diabetes, the campers learn to work with their disease and develop a more positive view of their own futures.

Each camper is encouraged to develop responsibility for maintaining a proper balance of insulin, diet and exercise, according to his/her level of maturity and understanding in a positive, fun environment!

Although the actual cost per camper is $650, each camper pays only $175 as a registration fee. The Lions Clubs of Nova Scotia have committed to major sponsorship of Camp Lion Maxwell. Additional funds are raised for camp through CDA branches in Nova Scotia - please get involved with your local branch!
