ICD’s Sports and Adventure Camps are fun, multi-sport day programs designed to build confidence, diabetes literacy, and lifelong friendships. Campers of all ability levels enjoy a mix of sports, games, challenges, and mentorship - all while learning real-world diabetes management skills in a supportive, active setting.
Each day combines sports drills, field and gym games, carb-counting, and diabetes discussions woven naturally into play. With guidance from our youth leaders and coaches who live with T1D, campers gain independence, resilience, and a sense of belonging.
