Camp Nejeda Foundation

Camp Nejeda Foundation Camp Nejeda provides residential summer camp and programs for children with type 1 diabetes. The next bootcamp retreat will be held June 2-4, 2017.

Camp Nejeda is one of 5 independent non-profit US diabetes camps owned and operated solely to serve kids with type 1 diabetes. Camp Nejeda uses hands-on learning in a fun, age appropriate and emotionally supportive setting to teach hundreds of campers each year the skills and confidence they need to manage an intense and lifelong treatment regimen to survive and to delay and prevent complications.

Camp Nejeda provides two one-week and three two-week residential summer camp programs as well as three family weekend camps and several other special focus camp weekends throughout the year. At Camp Nejeda counselors serve as positive role models, medical professionals teach important disease management skills and campers share experiences with other kids with diabetes while parents get a respite from around-the-clock diabetes management. In addition to summer camp programs, Camp Nejeda offers Survive and Thrive Bootcamp weekend retreat for adults with type 1 diabetes. Because the daily responsibilities for treatment decisions fall to the patient and not a healthcare provider, children with diabetes can experience considerable stress and anxiety about their health and management of their disease. Peer review research has found that disease-specific summer camps provide children with important education about their health care, improve their overall attitudes, and reduce specific anxieties about their disease.

At Camp Nejeda, camper health and safety isn’t just a priority—it’s standard practice.

As an American Camp Association (ACA) accredited camp, we voluntarily undergo a rigorous review to meet over 300 industry-leading standards spanning health, safety, facility operations, staffing, and youth development—going well beyond basic state licensing requirements.

We're also proud to help lead the way for camps everywhere. Our Director of Programs, Victoria Blackman, chairs the ACA Accreditation Committee for NY & NJ, while Associate Camp Director Brian Babauta serves as an ACA visitor helping review and accredit other camps. At Camp Nejeda, safety isn’t just a standard we meet—it’s expertise we share!
