Description

A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE It's a fact of life for kids with diabetes; they face a set of unique challenges. Which is why we think deserve a set

of unique opportunities. That's the big idea behind Camp Adam Fisher, an annual summer born in 1968 out of a father's

wish for his daughter. Our mission is to offer all the experiences, lessons benefits of summer camp to children with

diabetes, while teaching them how to live longer and healthier lives. Our pledge is to do so in a safe, well-monitored

environment where professional attention can be afforded to each camper's individual needs. It's simple really. A week

of camp, packed with great activities, fun, friendship and self-discovery.



SUMMER CAMP

blast. Camp Adam Fisher will be held June 6th-June 12th, 2010, at the R.M. Cooper 4-H leadership Center, located on

a 110-acre peninsula on the Wyboo Creek section of Lake Marion in Summerton, S.C., only 15 minutes from Interstate 95.
