Marquette, MIMay 14, 2025Camp UPeninsulin, Upper Michigan’s only camp for Type I diabetic kids, is coming up in August.

Chris Plourde, Camp Co-Director, and Camp Board Member Mike Parks spoke about the camp with Mark & Walt in the Morning.

Plourde said the camp, coming August 5th though the 9th at the Clear Lake Education Center near Manistique, gives kids across the U.P. with Type I diabetes a change to meet other kids with Type I.

Parks explained that kids getting the chance to meet other kids with the same condition is important because a lot of these kids feel alone and are often one of the only diabetics in their town or area.

They added that kids that attend the camp are in a controlled setting with physicians and nurses. You can find out more by visiting the camp’s website or by sending them an email at campupeninsulin@gmail.com.
