Camp Setebaid is an overnight camp for children and teens ages 8–17 with type 1 diabetes. It is located west of Wilkes-Barre and north of Berwick in the mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania on the grounds of Camp Louise. It has been serving children with diabetes since 1978. The name Setebaid ("diabetes" spelled backward) was chosen by campers in the early 1980s. Camp Setebaid was operated by the American Diabetes Association for two decades; since 2000 it has been operated by Setebaid Services. Camp Setebaid is accredited by the American Camp Association.
Camp Setebaid is a somewhat rustic, traditional camp surrounded by mountains and state game lands. Campers at Setebaid sleep in platform-style tents with 4 beds in each tent. The camp includes a large swimming pool, playing field, a lake, hiking trails, and mountains.
Famous quotes containing the word camp:
“If all would lead their lives in love like me,
Then bloody swords and armor should not be;
No drum nor trumpet peaceful sleeps should move,
Unless alarm came from the camp of love.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
