Camps & Events
Diabetes Camps are a great place for young people with diabetes to meet others. Diabetes Youth NZ provides support for these ventures by providing guidance, funding and publishing the DYNZ Camping Guidelines. These guidelines are endorsed by New Zealand Scientific Study of Diabetes (NZSSD) and are currently being reviewed for updating.
Diabetes Youth groups also offer a wide range of other events.
