Camp Maple My Summer with Diabetes
By M. Andersen

This is a heartwarming and empowering story for kids living with type 1 diabetes and for anyone discovering the strength within themselves.

When eleven-year-old Peter heads to Camp Maple Loop for the summer, he's nervous about more than just being away from home. He's carrying the invisible weight of managing type 1 diabetes—and the fear of being different. But at a camp filled with kids like him, Peter learns he's not alone.

From midnight blood sugar checks to camp-wide Capture the Flag, Peter faces new challenges, builds lasting friendships, and discovers his inner courage. With the help of his cabinmates, a loyal service dog named Max, and the magic of the Northern Ontario wilderness, Peter learns that diabetes is just one part of his story, not the whole story.

Perfect for ages 8–12, Camp Maple Loop is a celebration of resilience, inclusion, and the power of community. Packed with humour, relatable adventures, and illustrated pages, this book encourages confidence and self-awareness in children navigating chronic conditions.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or young reader, Camp Maple Loop is an inspiring journey of discovery, one campfire story at a time.
