Our next Type 1 Timer Hockey Camp will be held July 23 – 26, 2024! Camp features elite hockey instruction, diabetes education, and fun, community-building events. More than hockey, Type 1 Timer aims to bring together families and players who can understand what it’s like. Great days at camp will be followed by fun evening activities, allowing friendships to grow beyond camp!
