Camp Kudzu’s mission is to educate, empower, and inspire children, teens, and their families living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). For 26 years, Camp Kudzu has provided inspiring year-round programming that empowers children, teens, and their families living with T1D to gain confidence, make connections with their peers, and increase knowledge about living a healthy life with diabetes. As Georgia’s largest provider of diabetes self-management education and support services, Camp Kudzu fills an important need for children aged 5 to 18 living with insulin-dependent diabetes.
Our year-round programs are delivered with the support of endocrinologists, healthcare professionals, and volunteers specifically trained in diabetes management. We offer overnight summer camps, family camp weekends, teen and junior retreats, day camps, and Kudzu One Day (K1D) programs across the state of Georgia.
Our mission is to educate, empower, and inspire children, teens, and their families living with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
To provide better support and services for the 8,000+ children in Georgia living with type 1 diabetes; where more than 600 diagnoses are made each year across our state.
