I went to medical school at the University of Minnesota and did my Pediatric and Pediatric Endocrinology training at the University of Iowa. Our family moved back to Minnesota in 1996, and I have been at Children\u2019s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota since. At Children\u2019s, we\u2019re proud to be the biggest clinic in the area providing diabetes care and the best of new technology to kids. Outside of work, I like outdoor activities; camping, hiking, skiing, fishing, and pretty much anything that gets me out in the woods. I have a lot of good stories to tell about YMCA camping experiences as a kid and teen.\u00a0 If the weather is bad, I will get my sewing machine out and work on a quilt or two.\u00a0 My husband, Dan, and I have 4 wonderful children and four grandchildren that keep us busy, as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Standard Operating Procedure for Cabin Placement<\/b><\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div>It is Camp Sweet Life\u2019s policy to assign cabin placements according to biological sex and age.

When a camper is gender-diverse, Camp Sweet Life will attempt to accommodate the camper&#8217;s, and their family&#8217;s,\u00a0cabin placement goals.\u00a0 However, it is with the understanding that we do not currently have the capacity to allow a\u00a0separate gender-diverse cabin at this time.\u00a0 Camp Sweet Life may be further limited by facility resources, medical staff availability and specific training, and the availbility and specialized training needed for camp counselors and counselors in training.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>It is the responsibility of Camp Sweet Life&#8217;s Executive Director and Medical Director to mutually determine if resources are\u00a0available for the above accommodation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;3391&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; title=&#8221;Camp Sweet Life 2026&#8243;][vc_column_text] Covid-19 Testing Protocol for Camp (updated July 8th, 2023) The American Diabetes Association (ADA) in agreement with the Center for Disease Control (CDC)\u00a0 are no longer requiring COVID vaccines for the 2023 season.\u00a0 They still highly\u00a0recommend that everyone is vaccinated but it is no longer required.
