Remember to bring a packed lunch, hat, water, full diabetes supplies (including glucogen), hypo treatments and a windbreaker jacket. Further information including a full gear list will be provided a week before the journey date. 

This is a great opportunity to get together with other teens and young adults for an adventure and gain independence managing diabetes.

Registrations close on Tuesday 1 April - as soon as your teens place is confirmed, a Wilderness Canoe Trust waiver form will be sent and this must be returned by Thursday 3 April to secure their place. Spaces are very limited! For more information, please contact Amanda. 

This activity can still go ahead in wet weather but if weather conditions are unsafe, a cancellation or postponement date will be advised on Saturday 12 April.
