“…According to Borus and Laffel, “The spontaneity and sense of immortality and exceptionalism that are hallmarks of the teen years are counter to effective diabetes management” ( 4 ).

“…Diabetes camps focus specifically on overcoming the adversity of living with type 1 diabetes. Previous research has examined the effect of focusing on resiliency in afterschool programs ( 24 ), resiliency in summer camp settings ( 20 ), and self-determination in a diabetes camp ( 14 , 16 ), but little research exists on resiliency training in youth at family-centered diabetes camps. Moreover, camps have been shown to be a positive force and a “unique educational institution” for youth, and diabetes camps specifically have been shown to be effective in providing the supports necessary for self-management and skill development ( 11 , 25 ).…”

Youth with diabetes frequently have limited access to traditional camps because of the need for accessible medical staff. With organized camping becoming more specialized with regard to meeting the needs of youth, there is an increased interest in developing and examining the efficacy of programs that serve individuals in specific illness groups, such as youth with type 1 diabetes. In a collaborative effort between a local university, a diabetes center of a local hospital, and the Lions Club, a diabetes camp was created to assist youth in the management of their diabetes. Data were collected over the 3-day family diabetes camp through three approaches: a pre- and post-program resiliency-based questionnaire, the 14-item Camper Learning Scale, and open-ended questions for parents of children with diabetes who were involved in camp. Wilcoxon t tests were used to analyze any differences between pre- and post-program scores on resiliency. The results indicated a positive increase of parents’ perceptions of their child’s resiliency ( Z = –1.833, P = 0.67). Findings from the Camper Learner Scale indicated that 77.14% of campers felt they “learned a little” or “learned a lot” about crucial youth development outcomes (e.g., independence). Finally, direct content analysis of the qualitative measures indicated several themes among parent respondents, which were generalized into three categories: motivation, community, and challenges. Diabetes camps and family diabetes camps have a great opportunity to address some of the challenges young people face while living with the second most common chronic illness facing youth.

There were 11 out of 20 characters values applied during the first meeting, while on the second meeting there were 10 values. 2) During the implementation, the characters on the lesson plans and syllabus weren't fully integrated due to the lack of support from the conditions and classroom environment. 3) During the learning process, especially the closing part, the teacher didn't inform the students about the lessons that would be learned for the next meeting. As for the evaluation, the teacher didn't provide a follow-up to the success of learning. 4) Hindrances in implementing character education at school are the limitation of school facilities and infrastructure.
