North Carolina - ADA Carolina Trails


The American Diabetes Association Camp Carolina Trails is an exciting week of summer fun for boys and girls entering grades 4 through 11. Camp includes many sports and activities such as swimming, hiking, canoeing and arts and crafts. It will be held at YMCA Camp Hanes on 400 acres next to hanging Rock State Park.

Nestled on a quiet hillside in the heart of Sauertown Mountains, Camp Hanes is a perfect setting for a week of adventure, education and friendship. The residential camp currently houses 150 youth. Campers are housed in well maintained cabins with adult chaperones. Experienced personnel include a complete medical staff of pediatric endocrinologists, physician assistants, registered nurses & registered dieticians, many of whom are also certified diabetes educators.

The American Diabetes Association is committed to providing educational information and referral services for children and families with diabetes, advocating for fair and equal treatment of children with diabetes in schools and increasing federal funding for diabetes research.
