Camp Diabetes is for adults 21+. No children are allowed.

Absolutely. Most campers arrive on their own, and everyone leaves as friends, often with a new group chat that lasts all year. Camp Diabetes is designed to make meeting people of all ages easy and fun. Bring an open mind and a young-at-heart attitude, and we'll handle the rest.

Yes. Each camper may bring one plus-one. Your guest can be diabetic or non-diabetic.

Totally. Camp Diabetes runs on kindness and inclusion. Showing up solo can feel intimidating, so our staff and counselors step in fast to help you settle in and meet people. You will have a seat at every meal, a group for every activity, and people to hang with from day one. By the first night, the nerves fade and camp starts to feel like your place.

Camp Diabetes sits in the Rocky Mountains of western Montana, on a 250-acre waterfront along the west shore of Flathead Lake, about 40 miles southwest of Glacier National Park.

Directions
The camp is located on the west side of Flathead Lake, along Highway 93, 15 miles south of Kalispell.

From 93, turn on Lutheran Camp Road which is between mile markers 94 and 95. After a half mile, turn left at the “Y.” The parking lot is another half mile down the road.

Transportation
We recommend flying into Glacier Park International Airport (FCA). It is about 35 minutes to camp with no traffic.

We are working to provide shuttles from FCA. Plan to arrive around 2:00 PM for best shuttle availability. We expect shuttles to run until 3:00 PM. Rideshare demand can be high in smaller towns, so timing matters.
