Quote from a Kiwi Counsellor in Michigan
Well well, what a great summer! I wasn't sure what quite to expect from Camp Copneconic but upon arrival in early June I was pleasantly suprised to find that Michigan isn't that vastly different to back home.
The whole 10 weeks was a blast especially the last three as we played host to Camp Midicha which is the only place in the whole State where kids with Diabetes can come and feel at home. This was a once in a lifetime experience, just get out there and do it.
