Diabetes Solutions of Oklahoma

What Diabetes Solutions of Oklahoma does

Diabetes Solutions of Oklahoma (DSOK) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2000 and headquartered in Oklahoma City, operating as the only Oklahoma-based nonprofit focused exclusively on improving the lives of people living with type 1 diabetes. The organization is not affiliated with JDRF or the American Diabetes Association. Its mission centers on diabetes education, programming, and community support, delivered primarily through its flagship Camp Endres program series — Day Camp (ages 5–12), Junior Camp (ages 7–13), Senior Camp (ages 13–17), and Adult Getaway (ages 21+) — hosted at Camp Twin Cedars in Guthrie, OK and YMCA Camp Classen in Davis, OK.

DSOK's product portfolio extends beyond camp sessions to include the LINK Lock-In teen leadership program, the A1C Fund (up to $1,200/year in financial assistance for insulin delivery devices and CGMs), Healthcare & Medication Assistance resource navigation, the HundredX Survey Fundraiser, and annual community events including the Winter Party and Diabetes Awareness Month campaigns. The organization has no proprietary technology; its "platform" is a service-based mix of in-person programming, the CampDocs online registration system, and a curated online resources directory. The core staff of three (Executive Director Kim Boaz-Wilson, Director of Operations Cada Johnson, and Administrative Assistant Tracy Pappas) is supplemented by seasonal medical staff, counselors, and volunteers.

Revenue is generated from a blend of camper registration fees ($55–$700 per participant, subsidized well below the $1,550 per-camper actual cost), individual donations (including a $25/month "Friends of DSOK" recurring tier), corporate and foundation grants (tiered Diamond through Bronze), pharmaceutical in-kind contributions, and fundraising campaigns. Diamond-level 2025/26 donors include New Venture Fund, Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, Mitchell Family Foundation, and W.J. Jones Family, with in-kind support from Abbott, Dexcom, and Novo Nordisk. Distribution and go-to-market rely on word-of-mouth within the Oklahoma T1D community, healthcare provider referrals, social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok), email marketing, and direct donation collection via PayPal and Venmo.

Direct peers

• Camp Hodia: Idaho-based nonprofit operating summer camps and teen programs for youth with T1D. Comparable in mission, regional nonprofit structure, and youth-focused programming.
• Setebaid Services: Nonprofit operating multiple diabetes residential camps across Pennsylvania and surrounding states. Closest direct operational peer to Camp Endres in mission, program structure, and camper demographic.
• The Barton Center for Diabetes Education: Massachusetts-based nonprofit operating Camp Joslin and Camp Clara Barton, residential T1D camps serving children and families. Directly comparable in residential-camp-plus-education model.
• Florida Diabetes Camp: Nonprofit operating multiple T1D residential and day camps throughout Florida. Comparable in scope of camp programming, age cohorts served, and medically supervised model.
• Diabetes Education & Camping Association (DECA): Professional association for diabetes camps worldwide; DSOK is a Platinum-level member. DECA is the closest organizing body for organizations running diabetes-specific residential camp programs like Camp Endres.

Broad incumbents

• JDRF (formerly Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation): The largest U.S. nonprofit focused on type 1 diabetes research and support. JDRF operates a national network of T1D community programs and is referenced in DSOK's positioning as a non-affiliated organization, making it the most relevant incumbent peer.
• American Diabetes Association: National diabetes nonprofit providing education, advocacy, and camp programs (e.g., Camp Rainbow, Camp Independence). Directly comparable broad incumbent that DSOK explicitly distinguishes itself from.

Regional players

• Diabetes Youth Services: Ohio-based nonprofit serving children with T1D through programs, education, and support groups. Comparable regional T1D-youth support nonprofit with overlapping programs but different geography.

Emerging players

• Camp Sweet Life Adventures: Minnesota-based nonprofit running weekend and day camps for children with T1D. Comparable in format (non-overnight programs and family events) but smaller scale than Camp Endres.
• Beyond Type 1: National nonprofit providing T1D education, community programs, and grants. Comparable in digital-first community engagement and T1D peer-support programming, though not camp-focused.
