Once you find your camper down by the basketball court area, you have two choices.
1) You are free to leave.

Families take this time to network, meet your camper's new friends, take pictures, and meet other T1D families.
We will also have tons of giveaways and, as always, be handing out all the leftover insulin and pump supplies at the end of the BBQ.
