The Diabetes Sports Camp, run through Professor and Researcher Dr. Michael Riddell, provides young people with Type 1 diabetes a necessary hand-on learning experience that teaches independent understanding and management of diabetes. This unique program is seamlessly integrated with the sport camps during the weeks of July 7-11 and 14-18 and is designed to enhance the quality of life for young persons with diabetes through sport, physical activity and physical fitness in a unique camp experience with their peers. Participants of this camp will have access to nursing staff, athletic therapy and clinical exercise physiologists.

All participants that are diabetic and requiring financial assistance are asked to click on the link for the Canadian Diabetes Association (http://www.dcamps.ca/camp/camp-huronda) and not York Sport and Recreation.

By registering for the Basketball, multi-sport, Soccer or Tennis camp during these two weeks and specifying 'Diabetes' under 'Allergies/Medical Conditions/Medication' during the registration process, your child will be automatically registered for the Diabetes Sports Camp.'
