Pick your way
Six ways to help
Donors cover most of the cost, so families pay far less than the full cost. Every way below helps a kid get to camp. Pick the one that fits you.
What fits what you can give
Give once or monthly
Give as a guest in Camp Brain, in under two minutes, and choose a fund. No account needed.
Donate
Volunteer at camp
Spend camp week in July as a counselor, nurse, doctor or dietitian. If you have diabetes too, you are the person these kids look up to.
Volunteer at camp
Join or support an event
Come to a Setebaid fundraiser, bring your friends, or help at the event.

Run your own fundraiser
A birthday, a school collection, a walk with friends. We give you a story, a photo and the fund to name. See how it works below.
Email the office
Sponsor camp or an event
Your company makes an event or a camp week possible, and is thanked at the event and on its page. See how it works below.
Call the office
Spread the word
Tell one family about camp. We give you the story, the text message and the cards. See how it works below.

How it works
Help in your own way
Run your own fundraiser
Ask friends to give for your birthday, hold a collection at school or at your club, or walk with your family and collect pledges.
The office sends you a short camp story, a photo and the name of the fund to use. Every dollar goes to the Campership Fund unless you choose another fund (Setebaid to confirm).
Which tool to use, for example a Facebook fundraiser or a Camp Brain page, is up to Setebaid (Setebaid to confirm). Tell us your idea and we help you set it up.
Sponsor camp or an event
Sponsors make an event or a camp week possible.
Your company is thanked at the event and on the event page. Sponsor levels are set for each event (Setebaid to confirm).
Call the office or email us, and we send you what this year's events need.
Spread the word
A parent's or a volunteer's word is what a worried parent trusts most. Most families never share, because nobody asks them. We are asking.
Ask for the share kit: a camper story, a ready-made text message and "bring a friend" cards (Setebaid to confirm).
You get your own link or QR code, so Setebaid knows which families you brought, and a thank-you when a family comes to camp (Setebaid to confirm).
Parents of past campers: new parents want to hear from someone who has been through it. Tell us if a nervous parent may call you (Setebaid to confirm).
Help in the office or on a committee
A few hours a month, from home or in Winfield. Committees and work groups are volunteers, and you need no diabetes experience (Setebaid to confirm).
A volunteer board sets the policies and the budget. See who is on it and how Setebaid is run.
Alumni: stay part of the family
Attending a Setebaid camp makes you part of our family. Many alumni come back as counselors.
Keep your details current so you hear about reunions and alumni events (Setebaid to confirm). Email the office with your name, your camp and the years you came.
Follow Setebaid on Facebook and Instagram to see what camp is up to.
In their words
Why people come back
Everyone that volunteers at this camp wants to be there. Everyone puts 110% towards the campers placed with them.
Once I entered the camp, I always felt like I could do more… learn from my mistakes, raise the bar on my behavior, and be more independent. I would not be half the person I am today without the leadership exemplified and coached by the amazing people I met at Setebaid’s camps.
It takes a village to raise a child. When you have a child with diabetes, consider diabetes camp as part of your village.
The camp staff was accepting, encouraging, and fun. The one week away from home gave her such a boost.
