Description
Located in the San Bernardino National Forest of Southern California, Camp Conrad-Chinnock offers recreational, social, and educational opportunities for youth and families with diabetes. Campers are taught diabetes self-management skills in a fun, interactive, and safe environment.
Our program includes water activities in a heated pool, arts and crafts, educational nature activities, archery, rock climbing, hiking, theme days, lake canoeing, volleyball, basketball, and mountain biking along with medical education and self-knowledge. Family and youth camps provide wonderful opportunities for growth.
Camp Conrad-Chinnock offers multiple youth sessions, each packed with a variety of adventurous age-appropriate activities. These sessions create a special place where youth and teens develop relationships that last a lifetime while exploring emerging concerns and social issues.
