(PRWEB) June 26, 2005 -- Kids attending diabetes camps this summer will have fun participating in "Operation When Nature Calls," a scavenger hunt designed by Susan Haley of Haley Productions. Bayer HealthCare, Diabetes Care Division, a member of the Bayer Group (NYSE:BAY), located in Tarrytown, New York, is adapting this program to be used at camps which they sponsor throughout the United States.
Ms. Haley is a type 1 diabetic herself. I was diagnosed at 29 so I guess Im too old to attend these summer camps but Im thrilled to know they exist. This is not an easy disease to live with day in and day out, especially if youre a kid. You struggle not only with the disease but with the fact that you stand out – youre different from other kids because you have special needs. At least at these camps you can pal around with other kids just like you so you dont feel so alone."
Other than lots of fun and an opportunity to make new friends and meet others who face the same challenges, the camps provide a bit of a break for the family from the daily demands of diabetes and give the child a chance to learn/improve diabetes self-management skills in a supervised setting.
