Camp Setebaid® at Swatara

Exclusively for teens with diabetes ages 13-18, Camp Setebaid at Swatara offers age-specific summer camp programs which allow campers to feel at ease and accepted in a community where having diabetes is the norm, not the exception.

Camp Setebaid at Swatara is held in Bethel, Pennsylvania, just 35 minutes East of Harrisburg and a little over an hour West of Philadelphia.

Under skilled medical supervision, campers also learn to better understand diabetes and the process of self-management by checking their blood-glucose levels, administering insulin, and recording results.  

As campers participate in daily events, they will gain new confidence in managing diabetes while maintaining an active lifestyle.
