HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital will sponsor its annual C. A. N. D. Y (Camping Activities for Normal Diabetic Youth) day camp for diabetic children Thursday and Friday, June 25 and 26, from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. each day at Evergreen Hollow Park in Effingham. Children ages six through 12 are eligible to attend the camp; however, the child should feel comfortable being left at the day camp without a parent or guardian. The child with diabetes is welcome to bring one guest. This guest may be a sibling or friend.

The purpose of this camp is to encourage diabetic children to become more independent. Campers will have the opportunity to take part in both recreational activities and diabetes education.

Early registration is encouraged to ensure that enough counselors and volunteers are available to help with activities. Applications will be accepted until June 17 or the camp is full. To receive an application or more information, please call the Bonnie Kruse, Outpatient and Community Nutrition Services, at (217) 347-1288 or visit the hospital web site at stanthonyshospital. org, and click on "Classes & Events."
