| Agreed with KickStart101. Camp is great.
Conversely, how long has he been living with this? 8 yrs old is pretty young to understand some of the troubles that can befall you at camp: diet, exercise, campouts, cookouts...
And if it is not a diabetes specific camp, I would say NO. I would doubt the experience level of the general camp nurse & and a part-time doctor with the challenges of a child with diabetes, if the health care team is not further along the diabetes knowledge & experience curve than all the most basic 'general' stuff (i.e. You can't eat THAT!..). Ask the average nurse working in any walkin day-clinic what the protocol is to treat hypoglycemia? Will the Dr. know how to make an insulin dosage adjustment for YOUR son?
