Camp Leo
for Children with Diabetes

 

Diabetes celebrates its 20th year of providing diabetes education and overnight camping experiences for children in 3rd through 8th grades.

Our mission statement in part states: "to provide an overnight camping experience where diabetes is the norm rather than the exception.”  

Camp Leo’s camp site is Panhandle Lake 4H Campgrounds
located near Shelton, WA.

2010 Camp Leo information:

Junior campers (3rd, 4th and 5th grades)
Fees: $180.00
Dates: July 18th - July 22nd

Senior campers (6th, 7th and 8th grades)
Fees: $270.00
Dates: July 18th - July 24th

Scholarships are available for campers unable to afford our camp fees.

Camp Leo’s dedicated staff of doctors, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, counselors and other volunteers speaks well for the continued growth and qualifications of the Camp Leo program.

Lion Club members play an important roll in Camp Leo.  Donations from Lions to our scholarship fund make it possible that “no child is turned away because they can not afford our camp fees.”  Lions volunteer their time assisting with crafts, archery, fishing and other activities where needed.  Lions volunteer in the dinning hall before and after meals.

Cost to sponsor a camper: $550!
Your generous support allows us to lower the cost of camp for all campers, and waive the cost, except for a $50 registration fee for those campers needing a full scholarship. Donations from Lions to our scholarship fund make it possible that no child is ever turned away because they can not afford our camp fee. Camp Leo truly could not exist without the financial support of the Lions.
