Find Your People. Fuel Your Confidence.
Are you a teen living with type 1 diabetes — or do you know one who is? The DFC Teen Retreat is your chance to connect, learn, and grow in a community that gets it.
We know living with diabetes as a teenager isn’t easy. Between school, friends, and the push for independence, it can feel like no one truly understands what you’re going through. That’s why this weekend is designed just for you — to build confidence, gain real-life skills for managing diabetes, and have fun with others who share your journey.
Through interactive workshops, outdoor adventures, and meaningful conversations, you’ll:
- Discover new ways to manage diabetes on your own terms
- Strengthen your confidence and independence
- Connect with friends who understand the highs and lows — literally
- Leave feeling empowered, supported, and ready to take on anything
Don’t miss the chance to find your people and rediscover what’s possible.
Join us for Teen Retreat — where community, confidence, and connection begin.
