Teen Weekend

Note: This program has been cancelled for 2009.

Teen Weekend is a program for 16-19 years olds with type 1 diabetes. This program offers a mixture of traditional camp activities, small group discussion on diabetes related topics, teambuilding activities utilizing the high and low ropes challenge course, and social time. The program offers teens the opportunity to share common experiences, to meet others teens and adult staff with diabetes, and form meaningful friendships.

Teen Weekend will be held at Camp Ho Mita Koda from Friday, August 7, 2009 to Sunday, August 9, 2009. Check in time on August 7 is 6:00 PM and check out time on August 9 is at 12 noon.

The cost of Teen Weekend is $175.00. Camperships are available for this program. CLICK HERE to download an application. The deadline to submit a campership application is August 1, 2009. Teen Weekend is limited to 30 participants so early registration is suggested. There is a $25 non-refundable fee due at the time of registration. This fee is applied towards the total program fee.

Payment for Teen Weekend must be paid in full by August 3, 2009. A complete refund (minus the $25 registration fee) will be given for written cancellations received by the Camp Manager at least 14 days prior to the start of Teen Weekend. No refunds will be given for cancellations at any other time. If a participant does not show up for Teen Weekend or leaves before the end the program for any reason (including being sent home for a violation of camp rules and policies), no refund is given. The program fee will not be pro-rated if a participant leaves before the completion of the program. Advance notice of cancellation will allow us to fill your valuable space with another teen participant.
