Camp Planet D Counselor-In-Training (CIT)
Description
Established in 1975, Camp Planet D is a residential camp program for children with diabetes serving 135 children and teens each year. Planet D offers children with diabetes the opportunity to learn how to enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle while managing their diabetes. At camp, children are surrounded by people who face the same challenge of living with diabetes, from fellow campers to adult staff members.

Our long-term collaboration with Children Mercy Hospital (CMH) has led to the program’s continued success. CMH provides medical camp staff, including nurses, endocrinologists, pharmacists, social workers, psychologists, and dietitians. CMH donation of staff time and services for camp provides our campers and their families with peace of mind and the support needed to learn better diabetes self-management skills. As a result, our campers leave camp with increased self-confidence, independence, and improved diabetes management.
