EVENT: Diabetes Fits Camp

Diabetes Fits sports camp aims to promote safe physical activity for individuals with Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes through education and hands-on learning.

The camp, held at the School on the Crawley campus, teaches individuals with diabetes how to minimise blood sugar fluctuations which are caused by exercise.

The program includes:

educational seminars motivational talks by athletes with Type 1 diabetes and group discussions to teach techniques developed through years of research.

The camp is geared for all levels of fitness, from those interested in starting an exercise regimen for the first time to those who want to take their marathon or triathlon training to a new level.

Parents are urged to attend alongside their son or daughter with diabetes - the information gained will be invaluable to establishing a strong foundation for your child's future health and quality of life.

We also aim to improve fitness and sports technique with swimming, biking, running and general fitness sessions. The swim session will be conducted at the UWA Aquatic Centre, while the scenic path along the Swan River will provide a beautiful setting for the running and biking sessions.
