Managing Diabetes Through Exercise

Welcome to Diabetes DESTINY

Update on DESTINY Events

We have currently paused our program. There have been many changes to the world in the last few years and although we are coming out of the pandemic it has had a lasting effect on camps and camps for type 1 children in particular. 

We are working on long term solutions to address these issues but, unfortunately, until we can find creative ways to overcome these challenges we will not be hosting any events. We miss everyone involved with this program and hope to be able to work with everyone again soon.

Diabetes DESTINY is traditionally a weekend camp in spring in Maryland. While we have been postponed due to COVID we hope to announce new events soon. 

Our Mission is to teach children and young adults with Type 1 diabetes to achieve healthy glucose control in the extremes of activity, exercise and fitness.

North Bay Adventure Camp is the perfect setting to have fun and learn!

This amazing weekend program will be held at NorthBay Adventure Camp located in beautiful North East Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay. During the weekend the children will be able to network with others. We will also be hosting educational programs and be bringing in clinical experts as well as athletes with diabetes to share their strategies of success.

Here are some comments from parents of past campers:

“Thanks to everyone who takes their time to makes these camps awesome. This was a first for my daughter and she had a blast and wants to be a counselor next year!!!! So exciting!!!!”

“Thank you for a wonderful experience at camp. She stretched herself and tried activities like the zip line and rock climbing for the first time. She is excited for next year.”

“Thank you for such a wonderful experience for my daughter. This was her first time at your camp and she hasn’t stopped talking about it since we picked her up this morning.”

“Our son had another great year. Thank you Ron DeNunzio for all you do to keep this going and thank you to everyone else who takes time from their schedules to help out.”

“thank you for our son’s first camp experience – it was a 10 out of 10! he loved the food (he went on and on about the food), the kids, the activities, the counselors, the cabins, everything! for me, i loved the pics posted all weekend so we could be the fly on the wall, and i loved seeing his smiling face when i picked him up today. see you all next year!”

“Kudos to the founders of the Extreme Adventure Camp and everyone who makes it such a success. What an incredible experience for all the children, not to mention how rewarding it was for our family to volunteer.”

Diabetes Exercise Strategies Together In Network with You (D.E.S.T.I.N.Y) brings people with Type 1 Diabetes together to learn and share strategies that allow to lead active, athletic lives at the peak of their ability.

Our vision is to work with anyone with T1D to set up programs focused on being active while maintaining a healthy lifestyle and good blood glucose control. We bring a team of medical professionals and successful athletes with type 1 diabetes to each program. Our athletes serve as role models, sharing their successful strategies, challenges and inspirations with our participants at camp.  We work together to empower each participant and help them believe and realize they can do anything we want with diabetes.
