Camp Hamwi has allowed these campers to have an authentic camp experience while learning how to manage their diabetes.
Come join in on the fun and enjoy refreshments, camp games, and socializing before the 5K kicks off!
The Dash for Camp is a chance to make an impact! To get involved further, we encourage participants to create or join a fundraising team for the chance to win a prize while raising funds for a good cause.
