This camp uniquely combines elite-level sports training with comprehensive diabetes management education for both teen athletes and their parents, fostering independence and confidence in a supportive community.
Diabetes Training Camp's Teen Boot Camp is an immersive, three-day overnight program designed for teen athletes with Type 1 diabetes and their parents. The camp focuses on empowering teens to balance exercise and blood sugar management while participating in elite-level sports training. Activities include agility drills, speed skills, weightlifting, and running techniques, all taught with an emphasis on real-time diabetes management. Parents attend separate sessions to learn how to support their teen's diabetes management, advocate for them, and improve communication skills. The camp aims to build confidence, resilience, and a sense of community among participants, helping teens to thrive in their sport and in life with Type 1 diabetes. Campers gain practical skills in nutrition, fueling strategies, insulin adjustment, and mental skills coaching to enhance performance and cope with challenges. The program also fosters connections with peers who share similar experiences, reducing feelings of isolation.
Days are filled with multiple workouts, educational workshops, and community events, including barbecues, pool parties, and kickball and dodgeball games, running from approximately 7 a.m. to 9 p.m..
The ideal student is an active teen athlete with Type 1 diabetes who wants to learn to manage their blood sugar effectively during exercise and connect with a supportive community.
