NEW THIS YEAR!
We are excited to announce the new Kids Camp at TypeOneNation Summit! Children’s breakout sessions will be both educational and FUN! Children will create crafts, play games that allow them to practice carb counting, attend FUN education sessions just for them, and even participate in an Ominpod Demo Design Contest. Details on the Omnipod Demo Design Contest and the educational sessions are listed below. Kids Camp is available for T1D’s and their siblings! Groups will be organized by age: ages 4-7 and ages 8-12.
