The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate and Dene, and on the
National Homeland of the Red River Métis.
We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves
to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of Reconciliation and collaboration.

Subject: Camp Briardale
Camp Briardale, the Diabetes Canada overnight camp for children living with type 1 diabetes is looking for healthcare students and registered dieticians to attend a one-week camp in
August 18-23, 2025. There will be a training day before camp.
Camp is a great experience – you will learn lots and have fun at the same time! We do not expect you to have any experience with type 1 diabetes, we will teach you what you need to know. Coming to camp gives you the opportunity to learn
the basics of management of type 1 diabetes but more importantly will give you insight into what it is like for a child to live with a chronic illness that requires constant attention.
And Camp experience is also not necessary – this is a great opportunity to go back to camp if you have been in the past and an even better opportunity to go to overnight camp if you never had the chance as a kid!
The 2 positions that are available for health care students are
“Medical Counsellor” and “Midnight Rambler ”.
Each cabin group has a medical counsellor who helps organize blood glucose checks, insulin doses etc. In addition, they also act as a general counsellor – living with a cabin group, going to and participating in all activities etc. (Don’t
worry – there are experienced camp counsellors as part of the team). Midnight ramblers help check glucose values through the night – and after sleeping in in the morning are welcome to join in with camp activities.
Have a look at the dcamps website for general information about camp (dcamps.ca). Camp Briardale is hosted at BB camp on Town Island just outside Kenora. Check out their website to get a look at the site – it is beautiful. (https://www.bbcamp.ca/)
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. This is really a great opportunity – to both learn and have fun!
