For Diabetes Camp -

Follow the same above guidelines, as well as the below guidelines for what NOT to pack. 

​

We receive supplies for Diabetes Camp through donations, which allows us to provide many items needed for your camper's  time at Hopewell. Because of this, we ask that you do not send syringes, insulin, or meters. If you must bring a cell phone to use your CGM ( we prefer you bring the PDM instead), it will be given to the nurse. Because blood sugars fluctuate so much while at camp due to many different factors, Dexcom sharing will be disabled at check-in. 

Pumpers: Bring 6 complete infusion set changes, plus an inserter device (each set and device should be INDIVIDUALLY LABELLED). For Diabetes Wee-Bit campers, please bring 3 complete infusions sets.

        Camp Nurse at check-in)
