About Us
CampType1 is our organization and as a 501c3 NFP we have branded our activities and events as Camp1. At Camp1, our mission is all about creating awesome moments for families, Kids and Teens living with T1D! Camp1 held our Inaugural T1D Day Camp for ages 5-14 and siblings in June 2024 in the Chicago Suburbs. New to the Chicagoland area, Camp1 is designed to create real-time connections and community to all T1D families.
In addition to traditional day camp, Camp1 also offers family events throughout the year and our under 6 year old family program which is branded CampLittle1.
Mission and Vision
At Camp1 our mission is to provide real-time community, confidence and connections among children, teens and family living with Type One Diabetes (T1D). We build community by providing day camp, confidence by teaching and educating the importance of T1D basic skills and connections by providing fun and engaging networking opportunities for all ages.
How did we get our logo?
Camp1 was born to create an opportunity and experience that allows kids living with T1D to see that they are not alone on their journeys with T1D. Our logo celebrates the journey and energy associated with finding T1D confidence and friends. The arrow in the logo enhances the sense of exploration and suggests a positive and upward direction. The number 1 at the end of the arrow suggests the amazing prize at the end of the treasure map and rewards of camp that awaits campers!
Benefits of Camp
Camp1 will enhance the overall well-being and confidence in T1D children by offering a typical day camp environment with medical supervision.

Camp History
Committed to Supporting T1D Families
Coming to you from faces and names you may recognize with over 50+ years of lived experience managing T1D, we're committed to creating day camps that build a strong community, boost confidence with cool T1D skills, and spark connections through super fun networking events.
This camp was brought to fruition by experienced T1D Moms in the community and their young adults who from their experiences know that T1D Day Camp is life changing.
