For adults living with type 1 diabetes

You already know the benefits kids get from camp. Now we’re bringing those same benefits to adults with type 1 and their loved ones! Welcome to your very own grown-up (slightly) summer camp experience August 24-25, 2019.

  • Camp activities include optional hikes, games, archery, swimming, campfire, and art!
  • MORE breakout sessions on living with type 1.
  • Access to type 1 service providers and tech companies.
  • Gourmet dinner with some of Oregon’s best wine.
  • Giveaways and prizes. Plus GCC swag for all attendees!

Anyone living with type 1 can attend, whether you have T1D yourself or you live with or love someone who does . Spouses, families and besties are welcome. Bring friends or make them there! Must be >21. Come just for Saturday or stay all night.
Optional breakout sessions include:


And our amazing dinner and evening partners are back:

  • Wine donated by the unparalleled Brick House Wines, whose list of awards and accolades, from the New York Times to the San Francisco Chronicle, is too long to list. Fun fact: there's a type 1 in the House!
  • Beer donated by Moonshrip Brewery, thanks to type 1 brewer, alumni camper, and former staffer Dan "Tarzan" McIntosh-Tolle. All gluten-free all the time.
  • Dinner catered by Out AZA Blue's chef Gabriel Barber. His hideaway restaurant along Gales Creek is THE place to go for flavors you just can't get anywhere else. For us, he's doing another gourmet take on some camp classics.
Plus, this is a fundraiser to send children growing up with type 1 diabetes to summer camp.

If you've ever fundraised to participate in a run or walk, it's like that—create a fundraising page and share it. People can donate to your page—but then you don't have to run or walk. Just join your friends by the pool!

For this fantastic all-inclusive weekend, the minimum to raise (or donate) is $150 per person, with an ultimate goal of $475. That sends a kid growing up with type 1 to camp, and that's a big, big deal. You camp: they camp.
