The Barton Center is a year-round retreat center where education, recreation, and shared experiences combine to support and motivate children and families and to help them manage the mental, physical and emotional rigors of diabetes care.

Here are the programs we offer:

Clara Barton Camp- Resident Summer Camp in North Oxford, MA for girls ages 6-16. Days are filled with sports activities, arts and crafts, swimming, talent shows, casino nights, campfires, field trips, dances with the boys from Joslin camp, diabetes education game shows, boating, hiking and so much more. Since 1932, girls between the ages of 6 and 16 with Type 1 diabetes have enjoyed the life-altering experience of the Clara Barton Camp on our 200+ acre site in North Oxford, Mass. Most return year after year.

Camp Joslin- Each summer 400 boys with diabetes join us on our 180 acre facility to meet new friends, have tons of fun and learn more about living with diabetes. Campers can choose from over sixty different activities such as fishing, kayaking, lacrosse, archery, tennis, hiking, ultimate frisbee, radio broadcasting and weekly dances with the Barton girls. Camp Joslin is staffed by medical professionals and counselors who also have diabetes and work hard to help campers learn about living with the disease. As many campers say, "Camp Joslin is a home away from home."

Day Camps- Camps in Greenwich, CT; Long Island, NY; New York, NY; Worcester, MA; Northampton, MA; and Boston, MA, for boys and girls ages 6-12.
