Most camps at the time were reluctant to accept responsibility for caring for children with diabetes. The common sentiment was that they could not guarantee their safety. One exception was Camp Illahee, near Cobourg, operated by the Family Services Association, which accepted children with a variety of medical conditions, including children with diabetes. Before Don Anderson began his fifteen-year tenure as Camp Huronda\u2019s first camp director, he was director at Camp Illahee for ten years!<br \/>\nCamp Huronda was founded in 1964. For seven years, the Ontario Division of the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) rented space at Camp Beausoleil near Penetanguishene, and Camp Couchiching near Orillia. This model is similar to the majority of D-Camps and independent diabetes camps that operate across Canada today.<\/p>\n<p>A number of parents approached Dr.Chute to advocate for a summer camp in Ontario that was devoted completely to children with type 1. It didn\u2019t take long for Dr. Chute to find a champion for their cause. He said, \u201cBob (Erhlich), you\u2019re it!\u201d<br \/>\nRemarkably, this dynamic and determined group of parents led by Harry Hunter (Hunter Hilton), Isabelle Lockerbie (Lockerbie Lodge), Guy De Zorzi, and Joan Mills, organized a provincial lottery that raised close to $200,000. With these funds (and additional donations) they purchased Camp Waseosa, a girl\u2019s camp northwest of Huntsville on Lake Waseosa.<\/p>\n<p>In the summer of 1971, a permanent home for Camp Huronda was established. Camp Huronda is currently the only camp facility owned by Diabetes Canada.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1215&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1680483314789{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;100 px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1680480837320{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1680480823361{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;100px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]In the 1960s, a group of parents from the Toronto branch of the Ontario [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"iawp_total_views":40,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-301","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendsofcamphuronda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendsofcamphuronda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendsofcamphuronda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/friendsofcamphuronda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/friendsofcamphuronda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=301"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/friendsofcamphuronda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/301\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1354,"href":"https:\/\/friendsofcamphuronda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/301\/revisions\/1354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendsofcamphuronda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
