 What We Do

Diabetes Incorporated offers Kamp for Kids every summer at Outlaw Ranch in Custer, South Dakota. We also offer other type 1 events and services for kids and their families. We are located in South Dakota, but get families from other states that attend our events and are always welcome.  Diabetes Incorporated can help guide you through insurance, find financial help for diabetic supplies, partner you with another type 1 diabetic family for support, or anything else you may need. We also offer yearly scholarships for type 1 kids or if you have a type 1 family member.

This exciting camp will take place from August 8 to 10, 2025, at the beautiful Outlaw Ranch in Custer, South Dakota. The best part? Camp is completely free for one child or adolescent with type 1 diabetes and one guardian. Additional family members can join for just $100, and children aged 3 and under can attend for free. We warmly welcome families and kids aged 0 to 17 from all across the U.S., not just South Dakota residents.

Some of our thrilling camp activities, including rock climbing, pony rides, and horseback riding, have limited availability and operate on a first-come, first-served basis. The sooner you register, the better your chances of securing a spot in these exciting activities. While we strive to accommodate as many campers as possible, late registrations may limit our ability to ensure everyone can participate in all the fun. We truly want every child to enjoy every moment of their camp experience!

Sorry, tickets are no longer available!
