For kids living with type 1 diabetes

THE CANADIAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION’S CAMPING TRADITION BEGAN WHEN CAMP BANTING FIRST OPENED ITS DOORS IN 1953. SINCE THEN, OUR CAMP PROGRAM HAS GROWN EXTENSIVELY, AND THE ASSOCIATION NOW OPERATES 12 OVERNIGHT CAMPS ACROSS CANADA.TODAY, EACH CAMP OFFERS AN ARRAY OF ACTIVITIES THAT MAKE USE OF THE FACILITIES AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

AVAILABLE AT EACH LOCATION.

A legacy ofSUPPORT,

EDUCATION & GOOD TIMES.

Why D-CAMPS?

Diabetes introduces kids to a new reality –

one that often makes them feel different

from their friends. For many kids, there is

no one else in their school or community

who has diabetes, and it can be a struggle

to acknowledge diabetes openly.

A diagnosis also brings with it a whole

new set of skills for kids to learn:

how to test their blood glucose levels,

prime a needle for injection, insert

a pump site, count carbs, recognize a

high or low blood sugar and deal with

the constant adjustments of food,

insulin and activity.

Diabetes forces kids to take on this

challenge but D-Camps is here to

empower them to live in spite of it.

6

WHERE KIDS WITH DIABETES CAN SIMPLY BE KIDS. D-Camps helps kids indulge their sense of fun and adventure in a diabetes-friendly environment where they can:

x Meet and connect with other kids who share the same experiences they do and who understand what it’s like to live with diabetes.

x Participate in outdoor activities such as swimming, hiking, canoeing, campfires and archery that help promote self-esteem and personal growth

x Learn how to self-manage their diabetes in a supportive environment. Campers often return home eager to be more independent with their diabetes care and better able to manage day-to-day hurdles.

Empowerment has never been

SO FUN....THE CANADIAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION IS PROUD TO BE THE ONLY NATIONAL PROVIDER OF SUMMER CAMP PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH LIVING WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES. COLLECTIVELY KNOWN AS D-CAMPS, OUR 12 CAMPS OFFER A TRUE CAMPING EXPERIENCE WHILE ACCOMMODATING THE NEEDS OF OUR CAMPERS.

DRAWING ON OUR PAST EXPERIENCES AND ENERGIZED WITH EACH PASSING SUMMER, OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE KIDS LIVING WITH

TYPE 1 DIABETES WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT WITH FRIENDS WHO TRULY UNDERSTAND THEM, TO BUILD SELF-CONFIDENCE, LEARN SKILLS AND SELF-MANAGE THEIR DIABETES. ALL THIS HAPPENS IN A FUN, NURTURING AND MEDICALLY

SUPPORTED ENVIRONMENT THAT GIVES PARENTS PEACE OF MIND.

Diabetes is

24/7“MY SINCERE GRATITUDE TO THE STAFF FOR BEING SO CARING. YOU GUYS TRULY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!” - D-PARENT

So is our healthcare team

At each camp a team of dedicated health-care professionals provide the highest level of diabetes education and management around the clock.

This team includes pediatric endocrinologists, doctors, registered nurses, diabetes educators, dietitians, student nurses and student dietitians.

8

A WELL-DESERVED BREAK FROM “D.” From the moment your child was diagnosed, your entire world changed. Where you were once able to simply make dinner, you now have to consider glucose levels, weigh food, count carbs, adjust basal and bolus levels and find yourself obsessing over numbers. Even a simple family bike ride now involves packing snacks, juice boxes, a meter and test strips.

D-Camps is an opportunity for you to rest easy knowing your child will learn crucial skills and gain confidence while being monitored by a dedicated medical team. For more than 60 years, parents just like you have entrusted their children to camps provided by the Canadian Diabetes Association.

“MY DAUGHTER’S FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR IS D-CAMP! IT OFFERS HER SO MUCH AND SHE ALWAYS COMES HOME WITH SOME NEW INFORMATION OR SKILL.”- D-PARENT

WE RECOGNIZE THAT FAMILIES HAVE DIFFERENT ABILITIES TO PAY. THAT’S WHY WE OFFER A VOLUNTARY, THREE-TIER PRICING PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS YOU TO CHOOSE THE CAMP FEE THAT YOU ARE MOST COMFORTABLE PAYING. FOR THOSE THAT FIND THE TIER 3 FEE A CHALLENGE TO PAY, WE OFFER FEE SUBSIDIES, CALLED CAMPERSHIPS.

THE CANADIAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION BELIEVES THAT NO CHILD SHOULD MISS OUT ON A SUMMER AT CAMP BECAUSE OF A LACK OF FUNDING. SUPPORTED BY GENEROUS DONATIONS, CAMPERSHIPS HELP FAMILIES WHO WOULDN’T OTHERWISE BE ABLE TO AFFORD CAMP.

IF YOU FEEL YOU WILL REQUIRE A CAMPERSHIP, PLEASE FILL OUT THE CAMPERSHIP APPLICATION INCLUDED IN YOUR ONLINE OR PAPER REGISTRATION.

10

A Day at CampAT EACH OF OUR CAMPS, WE DEVOTE SPECIFIC TIMES TO BLOOD GLUCOSE MONITORING (BGM), ADMINISTERING INSULIN AND TEACHING CHILDREN OTHER SKILLS THAT WILL HELP THEM SELF-MANAGE THEIR DIABETES. WE ALSO SPEND LARGE PORTIONS OF THE DAY SWIMMING, PLAYING SPORTS, HIKING, CREATING ARTISTIC MASTERPIECES, OR SINGING AT THE TOP OF OUR LUNGS. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTIVITIES AT THE CAMP OF YOUR CHOICE, PLEASE VISIT DCAMPS.CA.

Our evenings are typically spent with the entire camp participating in an evening program that may involve a game of Capture the Flag, Skit Night or a campfire followed by BGM, a snack and bedtime.

Family Camp provides families with the opportunity to learn more about type 1 diabetes in a positive and supportive environment where they can share information and experiences with other families faced with similar issues.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMThe Leadership Development Program (LDP) is an opportunity for teens to gain independence and valuable leadership skills through challenging and enriching activities. This program provides participants an opportunity to hone their skills to become great leaders both at camp and at home in their communities. In 2015, Leadership Development Programs are offered from coast to coast at D-Camps across Canada.
