American Diabetes Association - National Office (Accredited Camps)
Camp Aspire is a week-long overnight camp in Rush, New York for children living with type 1 diabetes, run by the American Diabetes Association. Campers rock climb, zip-line, boat, fish, swim, shoot archery and play field sports while a camp team of clinicians provides round-the-clock diabetes care. The camp serves ages 8–16, with a Leaders-in-Training track at 16 and a Counselors-in-Training track at 17. Financial assistance is available and the ADA states that nearly half of its camp families receive help with part or all of the cost and that no child is turned away from camp because of cost.

★★★★★Joe DriscollSon has been going to day camp here for the last few years. Staff is always very friendly, approachable and accommodating. Can’t say enough good things about Sunshine Camp. He looks forward to it every single year!
★★★★★Sarah StagnittoThere are amazing outdoor opportunities here for groups of children with mobility difficulties - such a fun place!!! I was lucky enough to get a brief tour last summer. Have you ever seen a child get to hang out in their wheelchair in a tree house?
★★★★★Susan NThis is an amazing place. All handicapped accessible. The grounds include cabins, playground,a train during the summer, live animals, trails & countless other fun things to do. A local getaway for handicapped children and adults to enjoy some fun.
★★★★★Kevin MarkmanWonderful spot for loved ones. The staff care and they find good ones to support. Great campus and lots of fun. Pool and solar power.
★★★★★John-David RochaVery nice campsite for specific groups. Not a public place to visit. Lots of options for visitors to do: archery, swimming, nice playground, large cafeteria suitable for 100+ that includes a full industrial kitchen, great space for big bonfire, low ropes challenge activities, athletic field w backstop, basketball hoops, fishing pond... Wow so much to do. A total of six cabins that have large indoor shower/restroom area between bedding spaces each available with occupancy up to roughly 20 per side surrounding the bathrooms. So total occupancy could approach 250 people. Have visited this location the past two years.
