Overview

Mission

Enhancing the lives of young people with Type 1 Diabetes and their families by providing fun opportunities for learning, connecting, and sharing.

What it reported doing in 2025

Camp Sweet Life Adventures achieves our missions by facilitating a sense of community for children and families who have a child with T1D. Summer camp and other seasonal outings have the primary focus of encouraging fun and establishing social connections. It is the belief of the organization that T1D affects many aspects of a child's life, from the way they eat and sleep to the way they learn and play. Since the family of a child with T1D is also greatly affected by the round-the-clock care required by a chronic health condition, our events focus on including activities and informal education for caregivers and family members as well. Our organization's purpose is to provide safe, medically supervised outings so that children with T1D can experience camp, outdoor fun and social activities just like any other child.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
