Working Together
We are proud to collaborate with Children’s Hospital of Richmond and VCU Medical School to bring an enriching art experience to the children at Camp Wannacure every June.
Our Impact
Art for the Journey partners with VCU Medical School to provide an enriching art experience for children with diabetes.
Camp WannaCure is exclusively for children ages 5-11 (who have
completed kindergarten) with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
Attending diabetes camp improves self-management skills, diabetes
education and blood sugar control. It is also one of the best ways for
children to meet other kids their age with diabetes.
Campers have the opportunity to hang out with kids their own age,
learn about diabetes from certified diabetes educators, enjoy a variety
of typical camp activities and gain confidence and independence in
their ability to manage their diabetes.
