Meet Emily, our Camp Morris Camp Director!

Emily’s Camp Morris journey started as a camper and has grown into leading the entire camp program today. Living with T1D herself for nearly 20 years, Emily is passionate about creating a camp experience where every camper feels confident, connected, and supported. When she’s not at camp, you can probably find her biking, making pottery, or adding to her rock collection from hiking adventures!

For Emily, Camp Morris is more than just a summer camp, it’s a place where kids living with T1D can feel understood, build lifelong friendships, and discover they’re never alone in their journey. Leaders like Emily are what make Camp Morris so special, and we cannot wait to welcome campers back for another unforgettable summer together!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has taken the time to complete surveys as part of our HundredX campaign.

Your persistence and willingness to share your opinions have already helped The Diabetes Family Connection raise more than $1,900 to support programs that bring our community together and provide hope, connection, and support to families navigating life with type 1 diabetes.

Every survey completed helps ensure that no family faces type 1 diabetes alone. Thank you for making a meaningful difference in the lives of children, adults, and caregivers across our community.
