What would you expect from an all-girls outdoor adventure Camp, specifically targeted for girls with T1?
I'm in the baby stages of starting a camp session targeted towards girls 14-17 with T1...and I want to hear what you think! Activities would include:
Backpacking
Camping
Rafting & Kayaking
Trips to Hot Springs
and...
A Heck of a Lot of Fun!
It would be a trip for girls who want to get out there, to do something fun and adventurous. As a T1, I know it can be daunting to get out of your daily routine. I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes a year ago. Since then, I have become more and more active in the diabetic community. I didn't let it slow me down, not one bit, and I want other girls like me to feel the same way. Especially in teenage years, Diabetes can be a drag. Diabetics can forget that they are still capable of anything, that they are not bound by their condition...
The trip would be planned with the help of a CDE and Endocrinologist, and experienced camp leaders.
Just wanted to pitch the idea to the community, and see what Moms, Dads and Girls think of the idea!
