About Diabetes Camping and Educational Services
Diabetes Camping and Educational Services is dedicated to helping children of all ages and their families to better understand their lives and to manage their diabetes.

The programs and events provided by DECS through education, support groups, family retreats, and youth camping programs are designed to see each and every child develop life-saving skills, and reach a new level of confidence and self-esteem.
