🦁 Why Camp Leo Is Truly One-of-a-Kind:

There are other Type 1 camps out there — but Camp Leo is the only residential/overnight camp in Western Washington created specifically for kids with Type 1 Diabetes.

What makes that so important?
Because when campers stay overnight, they’re surrounded by a full community that understands T1D — supported by 24/7 medical care from licensed medical volunteers, including endocrinologists, nurses, diabetes educators, and trained volunteers.

A few things parents always ask (and love to hear):
• Safety first: Every camper receives individualized diabetes care with round-the-clock monitoring.
• Carb counts + meals: All meals and snacks are carb-counted and prepared with T1D needs in mind.
• Device-friendly: Pumps, CGMs, injections — whatever your child uses, our medical volunteers can support it.
• Independence-building: Campers learn new skills, build confidence, and experience true community.
• Fun comes standard: Theme days, cabin activities, outdoor adventures, talent shows, and so much more.

Camp Leo is where kids feel understood, safe, and empowered… and where lifelong friendships begin. 💙
