Each year, the Canadian Diabetes Association hosts special camps across the country, where the campers who attend all have one special common bond.
They are all living with Type 1 diabetes.
This summer, hundreds of kids between the ages of 7 and 14 had the opportunity to attend.
Coordinator Rheal Williams says they all have stories they can share with each other, relating to diabetes, “There’s a lot of discussion within cabin groups about diabetes and their personal experiences. Camp is a great place to improve upon build their independence with diabetes management. We have a lot of teachable moments.”
Camps are held in several provinces, including Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, and Ontario.
