Camp Nejeda Foundation

The mission of the Camp Nejeda Foundation is to enhance the lives of children with type 1 diabetes and their families by providing a fun and educational camping experience in a safe environment.

Established by a group of insightful parents and caring health professionals in 1958, Camp Nejeda is celebrating over 50 consecutive years of helping children with diabetes to live happier, healthier lives.

Camp Nejeda is one of a handful of diabetes camps nationwide to provide a full season of residential diabetes camping. Camp Nejeda is located on a 72-acre campus that includes a seven-acre lake, archery range, basketball and volleyball courts, low-ropes course, playground, and new hiking and biking trails. Along with swimming, boating, arts & crafts, field trips and cookouts, campers at Nejeda learn how to manage their diabetes, make healthy food choices, and most of all, maintain a positive attitude.
