Elouisa absolutely loved her time at Camp. She came back full of tales about her experiences – abseiling, caving, fencing, swimming, doing archery, having a midnight party with her room-mates and in her words, eating an ice cream as big as her head! She loved making new friends too – I think she found it refreshing to be surrounded by other little girls with pumps just like hers. From a parent’s perspective it felt as if Elouisa matured 2 years in 2 days, particularly in terms of her attitude towards her T1. She came back more confident, more interested and move involved, actively suggesting how she might deal with a low for example, when previously she just let it wash over her, with me doing everything. She used to be reticent about mentioning her T1 in public and I’ve noticed since Camp she’s been very willing to refer to it in conversations with people she’s only just met – it’s like Camp normalised everything for her in her mind. She had the best time and can’t wait to go back next year!”
