Southwestern Diabetic Foundation, Inc., a non-profit corporation, was founded in 1947 with the sole purpose of operating a residential summer camp for children with Type 1 diabetes. After more than 60 years of operation, Camp Sweeney is regarded as one of the largest and most effective diabetes educational facilities in the world. Located north of Dallas, Camp Sweeney offers the only 3-week lifestyle change program in the United States and serves approximately 1,000 children ages 5-18 each summer. Camp Sweeney's goal is to educate and encourage diabetes management, fostering self-confidence and self-esteem in these children while creating an environment where they develop life-long friendships.
