Lions Health Foundation is PROUD to sponsor the
|
 | A safe, healthy and enjoyable camp experience. |
| Enable youth to meet and share their experiences with other diabetic youth. |
| Empower campers to become responsible for individual control of their health program. |
The camp offers a variety of enjoyable activities and programs such as:
| Diabetes Education |
| Archery, Boating and Fishing |
| Arts and Crafts |
| Music Instruction/Appreciation |
| Baseball and Basketball |
| Volleyball and Kickball |
| Ping Pong and Badminton |

Our 24 hour medical staff monitor diet and supervises insulin administration and blood sugar testing. We have an emergency airlift arrangement with Mercy Medical Hospital in Redding for any incident that may require that service. Medical educational activities assist campers in becoming responsible for their individual health programs.
One counselor is provided for the appropriate number and age of the campers. Counselors receive basic training in support the medical staff and assisting campers. Counselors are selected from Lions, Lionesses, students, teachers, etc. Counselors are role models for campers and positively impact each camper's experience.
If you are interested in joining our team, please submit a Counselor Application (103K PDF) and the Counselor Application Medical Emergency Release Form (12K PDF).
