Camp John Warvel - ADA

Arlington, VAAges 7–17

American Diabetes Association - National Office (Accredited Camps)

Overnight camp for children living with diabetes, run by the American Diabetes Association and held at Jameson Camp in Indianapolis, Indiana - the Arlington, Virginia address on this listing is the association's national office, not the camp. Established in 1955, the camp has served over 9,000 campers and offers archery, field sports, high ropes and arts and crafts alongside round-the-clock clinical care; medical directors are physicians affiliated with Riley Hospital for Children. Campers are ages 7-16, with a counselor-in-training track for 17-year-olds that covers leadership and youth-work skills. Cell phones are permitted only as diabetes management tools such as CGM tracking. The association states no child is turned away for cost and that nearly half of families receive financial assistance, with a sponsored rate at half price.
