Osteoblast Sessions

Osteoblast activities include:
  • Explanation of the role of physical activity in bone formation/structure through hands-on activities

  • Identification and participation in bone strengthening exercises that can be done at home.

  • Games to share information about bone health and nutrition, bone health and aging, etc.

Osteoblast sessions are not part of CanBSDS data collection or research activities.

Osteoblast sessions are activity based education sessions aimed at providing information on the importance of physical activity for bone development to children  ages 8-12.

D-Camp

The CanBSDS is proud to be partnered with D-Camps. 

What is D-Camp?

Diabetes Canada’s camping program (D-Camp) has been to provide children living with type 1 diabetes the opportunity to enjoy an authentic camp experience in a medically accommodating environment, with a dedicated team of professionals. Our campers get the chance to meet and interact with other children and staff living with type 1 diabetes – what a great opportunity! Many of these relationships develop into lifelong friendships with others facing similar challenges. Through attending camp, we are confident your child will gain independence in managing their diabetes and feel empowered to continue the healthy practices they learn at camp and know that they are not alone in living with type 1 diabetes. At Diabetes Canada, we believe that our camp and youth programs are for all children and youth living with type 1 diabetes regardless of ability, colour, ethnicity, exceptionality, gender identity or expression, race, religion, and/or sexual orientation.
