Family Camps are structured to give parents and campers a preview of the real thing, so they are very similar--except there are parents and caregivers around! For the adults, we provide stuff for you to do, too. Getting to know other parents is one of the best things about Family Camp for adults. Siblings without diabetes are welcome at family camps! We have a limit of four in a family in order to give as many families a chance to come as possible. Try Family Camp and you'll be one of the GCC family in no time! Learn more about Family Camps here!
