Tennessee Camp for Diabetic Children (TCDC) is a summer camp for children 8 to 15 years old with Type 1 diabetes. Every summer, TCDC hosts up to 90 campers -45 girls and 45 boys - with Type 1 diabetes.
Using hands-on assistance, games, and videos, campers learn procedures and techniques for achieving daily glucose control - all while making friends and having fun participating in summer camp activities.
The camp is staffed by carefully selected, qualified, and responsible counselors, most of whom have Type 1 diabetes themselves. Certified lifeguards oversee all water sports and provide campers Beginner through Advanced swimming instruction.
