Our Story
In 2019, Camp Leo and ConnecT1D united to form Type 1 United, a powerful organization dedicated to serving the Type 1 Diabetes community. With over thirty years of experience, Camp Leo has provided overnight residential camps exclusively for children with Type 1 Diabetes, while ConnecT1D has fostered community-building programs for families, adults, and teens since 2011. Together, they have streamlined operations and shared resources, creating inspiring and empowering experiences for all.
Despite challenges in gathering in person, the strength of this partnership has allowed Type 1 United to continue offering impactful programs. The annual ConnecT1D Family Camp brings together families from across the Pacific Northwest, while the Adult Retreat provides a unique space for adults living with Type 1 Diabetes to connect and share their experiences.
