Our Sports Camps are multi-sport day camps that provide diabetes support, education, mentoring and normalization, integrated with awesome workouts, skill development and a whole lot of summer camp fun for all ability levels.
ICD Sports Camps are open to kids and teens, with and without type 1 diabetes, aged 5-15 each week, in an inclusive framework to allow T1Ds to participate alongside their peers. Campers aged 13-15 years can take part in our integrated leadership development program. Youth 16+ are welcome to apply to volunteer!
Incorporating sports skills and drills, challenge circuits, carb-counting, diabetes management support and great diabetes discussions each day, not to mention mentorship from our youth leaders and important connections to peers – we like to think our camps have something for everyone.

Staff Training
All of our counsellors and senior team members are fully trained leaders whose knowledge of T1D is informed by lived experience. Many of them have grown up with I Challenge Diabetes, and were campers themselves!
While ICD builds its specialized camp staff roster, we will also be working with our venues to train the entire staff to broaden this awareness and give first-hand learning experiences to these staff and better prepare them to support other camp programming.
Training includes watching for lows, recognizing trends, and knowing how food and exercise affect diabetes. They will also be trained on how to use Glucagon/Baqsimi in the rare case that they have to administer it to anyone.
Thank you to our sponsors for supporting this program!
