Camp Kudzu is a nonprofit organization that brings camping-based educational opportunities to children and teens with Type 1 diabetes. The program is run within the state of Georgia.[1]

History[edit]

Camp Kudzu was founded in 1999 by parents of diabetic children and medical professionals as means to support children in Georgia with Type One Diabetes. It held its first summer camp at Camp Twin Lakes in June of 2000 and its first family camp in 2002. The following year, the program expanded to run camps at both Camp Twin Lakes and Camp Barney.[2]
