Each program will be hosted at a quality venue that matches the needs of the program and will accommodate our staff and participants.
Liability insurance covers each program insuring all participants are more than taken care of in case of an injury or other situation.
The most important investment we make is in the quality of our staff. We believe in people power which is why have between 40-50 staff members per program.
Eating right isn't just for managing your diabetes, but also a key in helping you become a better athlete.
Integrated diabetes and nutrition education, care and support are provided throughout the program, including during activities.
Program equipment, participant merchandise, photography, marketing and other elements round out the program.
