Little Shots Michigan is unique because of its location at ProMedica Farms in Tecumseh, MI. Commonly referred to as ‘The Farm,’ it is a working farm full of learning where your food comes from, how vegetables benefit your health and tons of opportunities to taste new veggies. Campers work together to harvest and package fresh produce, complete with harvesting their own pizza toppings for a fresh lunch!
Each day at Little Shots is packed with tons of fun activities for your T1D to enjoy. Each year brings a new theme with related activities that are age appropriate such as crafts, games, ice skating, and inflatables. Our staff will work with you and your child to encourage new experiences in a safe setting. We also work to bring in special guests from the local and national stage to speak to campers on their experience living with T1D.
We work closely with our medical staff throughout the year to design our Diabetes Education classes based on what kids need most. Campers learn carb counting, the importance of injection rotations, recognizing high and low blood sugars, self-advocacy with T1D and so much more! Our team of counselors living with T1D as well as medical staff work to help campers understand and navigate the ups and down of diabetes. Ordinary moments become diabetes teaching moments – we don’t need a classroom!
