LEARNING OUTCOME: To identify the knowledge of 10–14 year old campers on the Diabetic Exchange System prior to and following experiences at a Diabetic Youth camp session The primary purpose of this study was to identify the knowledge of the 10-14 year old campers on the American Diabetes Exchange System prior to and following the camper experience at a one week session at the Louisiana Lions Camp for Diabetic Youth. The secondary purpose was to determine what personnel and activities the campers perceive are the most helpful in providing nutritional knowledge. The sample consisted of 88 campers (100% of the population). The instrument used to collect data was an existing pre- and post-test questionnaire adapted for this study. The data collection process included administration of the pre-test on the morning of the first full day at camp and the post-test administered on the last full day of camp. There were two nutritional education sessions held during the week for the campers. The data was analyzed by using tests for changes in proportions using the exact binomial test for proportions. The findings included: 1). forty-two percent of the campers increased their letter grades from the pre-to the post-test, 2). twenty-four percent of the campers had no formal education on diabetes in the past, 3). camper education was perceived to be the most helpful in providing nutritional knowledge at camp, 4).the campers perceive their families to be the most helpful in providing nutritional knowledge at home, and 5). the dietitians were perceived to be the most helpful in providing nutritional knowledge at camp. The researcher concluded that many campers learned new information on their diet. A similar study is recommended to explore the value of more extensive education sessions on diet, diabetes, and how diet affects diabetes
