Supporting children and teens with Type 1 Diabetes
Since 2018, the TOPP Foundation has awarded 43 scholarships to help children and teens with type 1 diabetes (T1D) experience the connection, belonging, and joy of overnight summer camp.
Why Diabetes Camp Matters
Camp Freedom and Camp Nejeda provide the 24‑hour medical care kids with T1D need, along with a community that understands their daily challenges. Campers enjoy traditional camp activities, build confidence and independence, make friends, and feel less alone. Many return each year, and some later become counselors. Parents value the peace of mind that comes with round‑the‑clock medical staff and a break from daily diabetes care.
Scholarship Details
TOPP will award a limited number of $500 scholarships for Camp Freedom and Camp Nejeda. Applicants must live in Bucks, Montgomery, or Philadelphia County, PA. Scholarships are awarded through a lottery system.
