Recreational Programs
Regular activity and ongoing fitness is essential to the management and prevention of diabetes
and its complications. Our recreation programs prepare diabetics for outdoor activity and create a
positive atmosphere of cooperation and collaboration. We encourage all family members and friends
to get involved in fitness, exercise, and fun recreational adventure!
Check out our upcoming Special Events
and our 2010 Hiking Schedule for a list of our monthly hikes.
Wellness Programs
Diabetes care happens in everyday life, not just at a visit to the doctor. Well-being involves
every aspect of mental, emotional, and physical health. Our wellness programs are connected to all
of our other programs and help people to stay healthy in all areas of life.
Community Building
People and families who live with diabetes are members of a thriving and significant community.
Diabetes Outdoors offers opportunities to connect with the diabetic community and to experience the
positive support that comes from it. By building lifelong friendships and sharing essential life
skills, we motivate one another to be successful!
Community Outreach
Diabetes Outdoors wants to increase public awareness of diabetes by reaching into the larger
community. This allows us to reach people who need support and to offer hope and encouragement
to newly diagnosed individuals of all ages. We also reach out to people at-risk of developing
diabetes due to family history or other factors.
