Camp, Class Trips, and Letting Go
When Your Kid Travels Without You
For parents of kids and teens with diabetes heading off on school trips, to camp and to sleepovers, and for the kid who handles part of the plan on their own.
Inside Camp, Class Trips, and Letting Go
- The full guide, read online as a book, always current as new issues land
- Six short videos to share before or during the trip, added after launch. Everyone who bought earlier gets each one, and the price goes to $50 once all six are in.
- An overview deck that walks the whole trip in one sitting, for the planning talk at the kitchen table.
- One-page team cards for how your travelers talk and work together: a before-we-leave huddle card, a who-does-what card, a card for when something goes wrong, and one card per issue.
- Printable checklists: packing, an emergency protocol, and a partner discussion guide.
- A 6x9 paperback for the bag, with the team cards, checklists and emergency protocol each on its own page. It comes after the online guide.
Your kid packs for a trip you are not going on, and the adults in charge did not sign up for diabetes. You decide what your kid keeps on them, what they can say out loud, how you brief the chaperones, and how you watch the numbers from home without hovering. The guide takes you from the night-before packing to the phone call you get when you are not there.
The adults on the trip did not sign up for diabetes, and your kid handles part of the conversation alone. The team cards give you the chaperone briefing, your kid's own lines, and what everyone does when a low shows up away from home.
