Description

Welcome to the Camp Sweeney Alumni Page. What a wonderful year of blessings the campers, alumni and staff of Camp Sweeney have enjoyed. Close to 900 incredible campers participated in our summer sessions and another 150 are anticipated to participate in our Winter Session. The 60th year reunion was a great time for close to 400 former campers and staff to come together and enjoy fellowship while remembering their fond times together at camp. These experiences are what camp is about. As I have mentioned numerous times in the past 25 years, what makes Camp Sweeney so special is not the place but the wonderful people that come together and give so much of themselves to make up this unique family. Please enjoy watching below the Camp Sweeney 60th Year Reunion Video below.


Camp Sweeney is one of few camps in the country designed specifically for kids with diabetes. The only requirement to attend is that a camper has diabetes. No camper has ever been turned away from Camp Sweeney because of race, religion, color, nationality or financial need.


Camp Sweeney has served more than 20,000 campers since 1950. Many entered Camp Sweeney at age 5 and attended every summer through age 18. Some have returned as counselors. And some are even sending their own kids to Camp Sweeney. Camp Sweeney, it seems, is more a family than a camp.
