Description

• Florida's first diabetes camp was organized by Wilma Van Der Beek in 1962 under the auspices of the Florida Diabetes Association (Camp Fladia). Over the next 8 years it grew from 40 to 85 campers per summer. Florida Camp for Children and Youth with Diabetes (FCCYD) was incorporated in 1970 by Dr. Arlan Rosenbloom. Thirty-four years later, FCCYD serves over 600 youngsters ages 6-18 at its seven summer sessions and another 500 youngsters and their families in weekend sessions throughout the year.
