Camp Setebaid at Mount Luther is a one-week adventure camp for children and teens with diabetes ages 7-14. Make memories while you share summer fun and diabetes education with friends at the best week of your summer. Campers can explore nature trails, participate in endless activities, take a dip in the pool, enjoy arts & crafts and challenge friends at the Gaga Court. Meet new friends boating or playing soccer or volleyball. Try making a bullseye at archery, or enjoy a game of disc-golf with your friends. Try the challenge course and help your friends through the ropes course elements.

The medical staff, consisting of pediatric endocrinologists and pediatric physicians, monitors glucose with camp-provided monitors, which gives parents peace-of-mind while their children are at camp. Because the medical staff coaches the campers, they learn to manage their diabetes; we say their new skills are "caught, not taught" because the campers don't even realize they're learning diabetes skills.

Setebaid was named by a camper who said, "this camp turns my diabetes around, so you should call it diabetes spelled backwards."
