The mission of Southeastern Diabetes Education Services is to educate, encourage, and empower children with diabetes and their families to live well.
Camp Seale Harris was founded in 1949 by Samuel Eichold, II, MD in Mobile, AL. Thanks to the vision and support of “Doc E,” Camp Seale Harris has continuously changed lives of thousands of children living with diabetes for 73 years, now in locations throughout Alabama and north Florida.
Camp Seale Harris is living well! Hundreds of youth with diabetes come each year to Camp Seale Harris for a medically-supervised, fun camp experience and family connection to year-round support that helps them fight diabetes every day.
Camp isn’t just a place on a map. It’s a shared experience and a feeling of community. Campers try new things, learn new skills, and make life-long friends. They become more independent and confident. Many become leaders and mentors. It’s where they connect and are inspired to live well. Join us in our mission to “educate, encourage, and empower children with diabetes and their families.”
Camps happen year round in week-long, day, and weekend sessions in nine locations in Alabama and Northwest Florida. Community Family Education and Support programs include activities in Auburn/Opelika, Birmingham, Cullman, Dothan, Huntsville, Mobile, Montgomery/River Region, NE Alabama/Gadsden, and Pensacola.
