Empowering Campers. Since 1976, ADA Camp Carefree has served over 4,000 campers ages 7-16, providing diabetes education and support. Campers are encouraged to take on new challenges, discover new interests, and most importantly, have fun. Our experienced staff will help campers gain the skills and confidence needed to manage their diabetes and take control of their own health. Campers will gain the knowledge and skills to make healthy choices and be empowered to take ownership of their diabetes.

Creating Community. Camp Carefree provides a supportive, safe, and fun environment where campers can really be themselves. Our two-week summer program brings campers together to form a community of friendship and support. With the help of our highly-trained medical and program staff, campers are empowered to be their own advocates and develop healthy habits that will last them a lifetime.

The Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program was created as a transitional stage from camper to staff. CIT's are expected to display responsibility, maturity and a positive attitude.
