Kalahari Waterpark Adventure 2026

February 6 @ 8:00 am - February 7 @ 5:00 pm

Calling all type 1 families! One of our most popular family events is back for 2026! Enjoy an incredible weekend with DYS, full of fun water slides, adventure, and great company. Enjoy a discounted group rate, a private Whirlpool Cabana with snacks, and fun for the whole family!


**Please note: You must complete both steps to receive the group discount for an overnight room: 

1. Reserve your room with Kalahari

2. Register with DYS (You will need your Kalahari confirmation number for this step) 

If you do not complete both steps, you are not fully registered. If you have questions, please email [email protected] or call 419-291-1236. 


The DYS discount only applies when reserving an overnight room. Day passes are sold at the regular Kalahari rate. As a small non-profit, we work hard to ensure these programs are accessible to families living with type 1 diabetes. This discount is available only to T1D families, not friends/neighbors/etc. as we have a limited number of rooms available in our group. Please be courteous and only register family members. If other parties would like to attend, they can do so through the normal Kalahari website. We kindly request that you refrain from registering as part of our group. 


**If you wish to reserve a room after the deadline, please contact Kalahari Group Sales directly at (419) 433-7759 to inquire about availability. DYS is not responsible for contacting them on your behalf. **

$194 Per night for a standard Run of House room with two queen beds (accommodating up to four people) for Friday or Saturday arrivals.
