Senior day out Expression of Interest QLD
Hosted by Diabetes Australia (QLD)
Type 1 diabetes, Children and teens
EXPRESSION OF INTEREST NOW OPEN!
You're invited to join us for a day of fun at Apex Camps Sunshine Coast in Twin Waters for children aged between 12-14 years living with type 1 diabetes.
Designed to bring children living with type 1 diabetes together, our Senior day out aims to increase confidence in children and promote opportunities to share knowledge and practice diabetes self-management skills in a safe and supportive environment, without the presence of parents/carers.
A variety of outdoor adventure activities will be led by the recreation staff at Apex Camps, along with a mental health and wellbeing session facilitated by an experienced type 1 diabetes counsellor. Each group will be assigned a Diabetes Educator who will encourage conversations around diabetes management throughout the day – a perfect way to meet new friends and decrease feelings of isolation.
Please note: Due to the nature of the educational components, this event is suitable for children with type 1 diabetes only (no parents/carers). This event will be fully supervised by trained health professionals.
