About Camp Nejeda Foundation

Camp Nejeda Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization which funds the operation of Camp Nejeda, a residential summer camp program as well as additional programs throughout the year for children and adults with type 1 diabetes. At Camp Nejeda, youth with diabetes are given the opportunity to live, if only for one or two weeks, in a world where having diabetes is the norm and where there is no need to explain blood sugar testing, finger pricks, insulin injections, ketones, 'lows' (insulin reactions), boluses or 'carb counting.' Both formal and informal educational moments help promote good diabetes management and healthy, active living. Camp Nejeda's Family Camps and other programs offered throughout the year provide empowering fellowship and educational opportunities for individuals with type 1 diabetes of all ages and for their families. As the only facility of its kind in New Jersey and its neighboring states, Camp Nejeda hosts children, teens, and families from across the region. While most are from New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, we have regular campers from Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and elsewhere. The Camp Nejeda Foundation subsidizes about half of the cost of camp for all our campers and provides additional financial assistance to approximately 30% of our campers each year. Campership awards range from 20% to 100% support. Most awards are for 100%. Camp Nejeda is fully licensed by the New Jersey Department of Health and accredited by the American Camp Association. ACA accredited camps meet up to 300 standards for health, food service, safety, and program quality.
