Camp Surefire started in 1999 as Rhode Island’s only camp for children and teens with Type 1 diabetes. In 2009, the non-profit who originally founded and ran the camp dissolved and the Camp Surefire Foundation was born. We hosted 44 campers that first summer with 95% of our campers hailing from Rhode Island. Over the past 15 years, we have continued to grow and evolve in a safe and sustainable way. In 2024, we had 95 campers registered for camp – more than double the number from 2009 and pulling from a much broader geographic area across New England. https://campsurefire.org
