Edmonton Day Adventure!
September 14, 2024
Learn how to protect those test kits and handle the highs and lows of T1D on the water with ICD and HeLadventures! Bring your dry bags and adventurous spirit on a day paddle through the city of Edmonton! Meet our leaders and other type 1s dealing with the same issues you do. We will work together as a team, strategizing about how to keep our blood sugars within range while enjoying an adventurous day on the water.
September 14, 2024 9:30am-4:00pm
Shove off from Sir Wilfrid Laurier Park, Edmonton, AB
This event is open to youth living with T1D (10+), their friends, and family. Whatever your level of adventuring experience, ICD's skilled leaders have you covered!
ICD will be providing lunch during our paddling break.
We are able to support all food allergies and dietary restrictions - your local leader Sarah Park is Celiac and T1D!
ICD is a leader in exercise and diabetes with experts in the science who talk the talk and athletes who walk the walk. We’ve hosted thousands of type 1s in everything from a fun day of sport to week-long camps and extreme challenges. We focus on how to manage diabetes effectively in the midst of real-life challenges and use active programs to bring strategies to life. If you’re looking to share an afternoon of activity, build on diabetes skills or see why ICD has a 100% participant response rate for motivation to live better with diabetes, come pay us a visit.
Our leaders include passionate and world class athletes who can provide participants with knowledge of life with T1D that can help them reach their goals. Participants will get active as a group and dive into a variety of exercise while managing diabetes together.
