Bearskin Meadow Camp - Diabetic Youth Foundation
Summer Address:

Bearskin Meadow Camp, BMC, is one of the oldest and largest wilderness resident campers for children, teens and families affected by diabetes. Were located in the Sequoia National Forest, 65 miles east of Fresno, California at an elevation of 5800 feet. Campers and families join us from all over California, the United States, and the world.
Celebrating its 69th season of camp, BMC was founded with the philosophy that children and teens with diabetes can do anything other kids can do, including experience summer camp adventures. We also know that diabetes is a condition that affects the whole family, including siblings and parents, too. From June to August each summer, we offer a number of different specialty programs to choose from including: kids camps; teen camp; family camps; and leadership training programs. Bearskin Meadow gives campers and parents a uniquely supportive community of peers and adults who truly understand the day to day challenges of living with diabetes.
Whether it is a great overnight campout, a tough hike accomplished by the group, or a funny skit presented at camp fire, we do it together and with a cooperative spirit that encourages each individual to succeed this his or her fullest extent.
