The Florida Diabetes Camp is a local foundation that provides an inclusive camp experience for juveniles with Type 1 Diabetes, hosted several weeks and weekends throughout the year within Florida. During their time at camp, they are taught a range of lessons from dietary education to glucose monitoring and more. Through education, these children have the opportunity to learn that they are not alone in their fight against Type 1 Diabetes. In this supportive environment, the campers can gather the self-confidence to live normal, healthy lives with their autoimmune disease.

AED is the University of Florida’s pre-health honor society focused on community outreach through service. AED is partnering with The Gainesville Fear Garden, an experimental haunted house attraction. This haunted house experience is a combination of a psychological science lab and a horror-themed bar that happens at night.

Yes! Show up in your costumes!
Yes, the festival is designed for families and children of all ages. However, the haunted house may be more suitable for slightly older kids (recommended ages 5 and up). Parents are encouraged to go through the house with their children, and we can limit the spookiness if you would like. Just let the haunted house attendant know and they will give you a glow stick that alerts our actors not to scare you! In general, our haunted house is aimed to storytell rather than scare.
There is free parking at Depot Park, the Cade Museum, and the GRU Municipal Lot - all within walking distance to the HauntAED event.
