FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
- Bayer
HealthCare to use Haley Productions’ scavenger hunt at
their Diabetes Camps for Kids.
Kids attending diabetes camps this summer will have fun participating
in "Operation When Nature Calls," a scavenger hunt designed
by Susan Haley of Haley Productions. Bayer HealthCare, Diabetes Care
Division, a member of the Bayer Group (NYSE:BAY), located in Tarrytown,
New York, is adapting this program to be used at camps which they sponsor
throughout the United States.
Ms. Haley is a type 1 diabetic herself. “I was diagnosed at 29 so I guess I’m too old to attend these summer camps but I’m thrilled to know they exist. This is not an easy disease to live with day in and day out, especially if you’re a kid. You struggle not only with the disease but with the fact that you stand out – you’re different from other kids because you have special needs. At least at these camps you can pal around with other kids just like you so you don’t feel so alone.”
Other than lots of fun and an opportunity to make new friends and meet others who face the same challenges, the camps provide a bit of a break for the family from the daily demands of diabetes and give the child a chance to learn/improve diabetes self-management skills in a supervised setting.

Bayer HealthCare has celebrated many firsts in diabetes management including inventing the first blood sugar test strips in 1964. You can read more about Ascensia brand products, services and support at www.ascensia.com.
Haley Productions offers a variety of do-it-yourself scavenger hunt games for both kids and adults.
