It wouldn't hurt to call the camp and see if they feel able to handle it... you'll be able to tell by their reaction how well prepared / knowledgeable they are about the big D. Or they might even have a counselor or two with D. Or you could recommends one. (*hint hint* I'm looking for a summer camp counselor gig this summer.)
I think it depends on how well your son is able to manage his own d. If he is able to detect and treat lows without too much help it would probably be do-able for everybody concerned. and are you talking about day camp or sleep away?
