The Diabetes NZ Nelson Youth family camp is for young people with diabetes from the Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough area and their families.

Approximately 20 families attend, with children and teenagers of all ages.While parts of the weekend are planned with activities, there will be plenty of time for relaxing and getting to know other families.

Camp runs from Friday evening until Sunday early afternoon. All meals are catered for under the guidance of a dietitian. Health professionals will also be present.

Child and adult tickets are $15 plus GST ($2.25). A booking fee of 3% + $0.30 per ticket is also charged, with all proceeds going to charitable education projects.

Diabetes NZ covers all other costs of this amazing weekend, and once we have confirmed numbers at Teapot Valley Christian Camp, we are committed to pay for these numbers. Please see cancellation policy below.

Every child and teen attending camp will be given a camp t-shirt designed by one our young community members. Adults can purchase a t-shirt for $20.
