The camp begins Wednesday, November 8th at 9:00 AM and ends on Thursday, November 9th at 4:30 PM.

The Purpose of this camp is to provide education for adults living with Type 2 diabetes.

This camp will be offered as a collaboration among regional experts in diabetes education including professionals from Minot State University and Trinity Health.
