ICD retreats are focused on empowering youth to embrace diabetes as a positive force in their lives.
Whether you are talking by the campfire or challenging yourself to try something new, you’ll connect with others, build lifelong friendships and focus on the skills needed to become a strong leader in the diabetes community - or just the best version of you!
We empower T1D youth to overcome obstacles and develop coping mechanisms for living with type one. With ICD's expert knowledge, enthusiastic instructors, and exciting activities you are sure to walk away with a deeper understanding of your potential.
Who This event is open to high school/post secondary students, and young adults living with type 1 diabetes, ages 14+. Those interested in bringing a friend without T1D are welcome to!
