The annual Adult Camp Retreat is...REINVENTED!
OK it's cancelled, too. But just like with regular camp that's not the end of the story.

As we all know, the COVID-19 situation hasn't improved much, and it's clear now we won't be able to host the annual Adult Camp Retreat for adults who live with T1D. It's just not yet safe to get together.

But, just like our kiddos, if adults living with T1D have learned (and earned) anything, it's resilience. So not only are we going to keep moving, we're going to have some fun anyway.

Sign up for this year's Adult Camp Retreat by donating $100 and we'll ship the fun to you (in the form of a "Camp-at-Home Kit" similar to the ones we shipped regular campers). Then we'll also use everything we learned through a summer of virtual camps to connect you with the GCC way of life--AND connect you to other adults living with T1D throughout the upcoming year.

Normally Adult Camp Retreat is a fundraiser that helps make it possible for ANY kid with T1D to attend regular camp, regardless of their financial situation. Gales Creek Camp still needs that financial support because this, too, will pass. With your help, we will be ready to bring campers back to camp next summer.

If you're 21 or older and live with or love someone with T1D, this is for you. If you went to GCC as a kid, welcome back. If you've never been to GCC, welcome to your community.
The Online Camp Store is OPEN!

While you can't visit the actual Camp Store this year, you can still get your gear fix in 2020.

Don't miss the last promo of the summer! It starts this Saturday!

All proceeds from the Camp Store go right back into the programs. It's a way to give back -- and give a gift or get a little something for yourself.

Shipping is a flat rate of $7 per order.
Spreading love through heirloom-quality quilts.

Do you know someone who needs a little extra love right now?
Few items can convey love like a quilt--a very labor intensive, very personal gift. A quilt is a constant reminder that someone took the time time make something special for you--that you are loved.

Through a special partnership between two amazing quilters, Gales Creek Camper have been gifted a number of heirloom-quality quits made by a master quilter. She goes by Chris, and is the mom of a T1D. Chris lives in Florida but works with our own Alumni quilter, who goes by "Cuda." Cuda has been gifting quilts to special GCC campers for the last several years.

This year, with no campers onsite, we're asking for your input. Do you know anyone who would benefit from the love and comfort of a handmade quilt? Your child? Grandchild? Sibling? You? There are quilts for children and adults, and they are customized by the quilters for each person.

Complete this form to nominate someone for one of these special quilts. You can nominate yourself ;-) There is no cost. We will select the recipients based on their story. All names and personal information will be kept confidential and will not be used for any other purpose.
Are you able to help Gales Creek Camp keep making magic?
Even though we can't have camp AT CAMP this year, we're still committed to our mission to support and connect kids and families who live with type 1 diabetes.

Your financial support will make it possible to provide unique summer programming to our campers and families.
Some detailed recommendations from the biggest names in type 1 diabetes
This may be what you've been looking for. JDRF and Beyond Type 1 joined forces to cut through the noise and create some recommendations just for people with diabetes.
