The mission of DYF is to improve the quality of life for children, teens and families affected by diabetes by providing education and recreation within a supportive community, encouraging personal growth, knowledge and independence. Staff is trained in type 1 diabetes management, and most staff members have diabetes themselves, with diabetes education sessions and support groups led by healthcare professionals and access to endocrinologist and diabetes care teams during Family Camp. The organization uses a tiered pricing structure with scholarships, payment plans, and a “Crowdfund Your Fee” option, including early bird discounts, monthly in-house interest-free financing, and automatic placement on a 6‑month payment plan if crowdfunding does not cover fees. Family Camp is described as a week of recreational activities and diabetes education for children and teens with type 1 diabetes and their family members, including evening group programming such as campfires, night hikes, talent shows, and a camp dance, as well as afternoon trips to nearby national parks as part of certain sessions. Spring and Fall Family Retreats are weekend programs in the Bay Area that offer recreational activities and diabetes education for children and teens with type 1 diabetes and their family members in a shortened format. DYF notes that scholarship options and subsidized rates are made possible through donations from community organizations, families, donors, and fundraisers, and that it is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. The institution states that it is an equal opportunity provider operating under a special use permit with the Sequoia National Forest.
