To be able to be at camp and learn in a caring environment and to share the challenges of living with diabetes with a friend is the gift of a lifetime.

Whether you're a Clara Barton Camp alumna or a Camp Joslin* alumnus, you'll always have a camp to call your own at The Barton Center.  No matter how young or old you are or how far away you live, we're here for YOU!  Former campers and staff return to The Barton Center each year for alumni events, to serve as a volunteer for weekend and summer programs, and to help raise campership funds. Barton alumni keep Clara Barton Camp and Camp Joslin* in their hearts all year round and are committed to "giving back" and ensuring that campers today, receive the same benefits as they did.  Please Stay In Touch so we can keep you connected with your friends and keep you informed of everything Barton!

Alumni Committee
Our alumni are among our most devoted, generous, and hard working group of supporters. The Alumni Committee is extremely active in helping to stay connected and to raise money to help bring our programs to more participants. If you are interested in serving on the Alumni Committee, please contact Lynn Butler at lynn.butler@bartoncenter.org.

Your ideas and suggestions are welcome! If you would like to help with these events, please contact us. It is not necessary to attend every meeting - some are scheduled via conference call.
