Living with T1D as a teen isn’t just about numbers—it’s school, sports, friends, sleepovers, and everything in between. And yeah… it can get stressful.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, frustrated, or just tired of managing diabetes 24/7—you’re not alone.

Here are a few ways to cope when things feel like too much:
💙 Take breaks when you can (mentally and physically)
💙 Talk it out—with a friend, parent, or someone who gets it
💙 Don’t aim for “perfect”—aim for doing your best
💙 Find what helps you reset (music, art, sports, gaming, journaling)
💙 Remember: one number doesn’t define your day

We’ve gathered some helpful articles and resources below ⬇️ that dive deeper into managing stress, burnout, and the emotional side of T1D.

You’re doing more than most people your age even realize—and that matters.

Throwback Thursday takes us back to 1987 at Camp Setebaid! 🌲✨

From classic camp games to lifelong friendships in the making, the spirit of camp has always been about connection, confidence, and unforgettable summer moments. While a lot has changed over the years, the heart of Camp Setebaid remains the same 💙

Were you part of the 1987 crew? Share your memories below—we’d love to hear them!

This Earth Day, we’re celebrating the beautiful outdoors that make camp such a special place. 🌎🌲💚

From the trails we explore to the campfires we gather around, nature brings us together and reminds us that, as Chief Seattle said, “all things connect.” Every moment at camp is a chance to appreciate and care for the world around us.

We can’t wait to make more memories in the great outdoors this summer! 🌿🏕️✨

Every journey at Camp Setebaid starts somewhere… 💙

For many, it begins as a camper—nervous, excited, and ready to make new friends who just get it.

Then comes Counselor-in-Training (CIT), where confidence grows, leadership begins, and giving back becomes part of the experience.

And before you know it, those same campers are back as staff—guiding, supporting, and creating the same magic they once experienced.

It’s more than just growing up at camp.

It’s growing into a role model. 💫

From camper ➡️ CIT ➡️ counselor… the journey comes full circle, and our camp family gets stronger every step of the way.

🍌 Happy National Banana Day! 🍌

Let’s celebrate by looking back at one of camp’s favorite traditions—Camp Setebaid’s Banana Olympics! 🏅

Teams get creative by decorating their very own “Olympian” (banana 🐒✨) and putting them through a series of fun (and slightly wild!) challenges to see which one can go the distance!

And don’t worry… if your Olympian gets “injured,” our amazing medical staff is always on standby to save the day! 🩺💛

So many laughs, so much creativity, and a whole lot of banana spirit—just another reason camp memories are the best! 🍌

Bret Michaels is more than his diagnosis. 💙

Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at just 6 years old, Bret didn’t let it stop him from chasing big dreams—becoming a rock star, songwriter, and performer known around the world. But beyond the stage and spotlight, his journey with T1D is deeply personal… and deeply connected to our story.

Bret’s mom, Marjorie, co-founded the Harrisburg Diabetic Youth Camp—now part of the Camp Setebaid family—after seeing firsthand the need for a place where kids with diabetes could feel understood, supported, and empowered.

Because of that vision, generations of campers have had a place to learn, grow, and realize they are truly more than their diagnosis—just like Bret.

From campfires to the stage, his story reminds us: your diagnosis is only one part of who you are.
