ICD Camps are multi-sport/skill day camps that provide diabetes support, education, mentoring and normalization, integrated with active programming, skill development and a whole lot of summer camp fun for all ability levels.
ICD Sports & Adventure Camps are open to kids and teens, with and without type 1 diabetes, aged 5-15. 13-15 year olds take part in our integrated leadership development program. Youth 16+ are welcome to apply to volunteer!
Incorporating sports and outdoor skills, carb-counting, diabetes discussions each day, 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!
