Camp AZDA is the American Diabetes Association’s summer camp designed specifically for kids with Type 1 diabetes in Arizona.
For decades, this incredible camp has provided a place where children can have fun, build friendships, and gain confidence in managing their diabetes—all in a supportive environment with medical professionals on hand.
We're speaking with Emily Madison, The American Diabetes Assocation's Senior Camps Director and Amanda Cardenas, a diabetic camp counselor to learn about how Camp AZDA is more than just a summer getaway; it’s a life-changing experience that empowers kids to live fully while managing their condition.
Learn how this camp fosters independence, community, and adventure for children with diabetes!
