Diabetes Canada camps and youth programs are aimed at children and youth affected by type 1 diabetes. These overnight programs emphasize participation in camp activities and provide an opportunity for diabetes education. Camp also helps youth to gain independence and self- discipline in managing their diabetes. The goals of Diabetes Canada camps are: ● Teach independent, self-management of diabetes ● Foster lasting friendships ● Improve self-esteem ● Provide a safe, fun, and educational camp experience Diabetes Canada’s camping tradition began in 1953 with the opening of the first D-Camp in Eastern Ontario. Since then, our camping program has grown extensively, and the Association now operates 9 overnight camps across Canada. Since the beginning, the focus of our camps has been to provide children living with type 1 diabetes with opportunities to enjoy an authentic camp experience while having all of their diabetes needs monitored by a dedicated team of trained medical professionals.
