Of the estimated 125,000 people in this county with diabetes, more than 1,100 are under the age of 20 and suffer from Type 1, or insulin-dependent, diabetes.

The Orange County office of the American Diabetes Assn. offers a variety of social and educational programs for these kids and their families. In addition to Camp Chinnock, ADA’s Youth Services host twice yearly holiday parties, a Lake Arrowhead family retreat and a family camp-out on San Diego’s Mission Bay, as well as regular Youth Club outings for youngsters ages 12 and up. Activities are offered at little or no charge.

For information about these or other ADA-sponsored youth programs, call Diane Endicott at (714) 662-7940.
