Our Purpose First of all, camp is fun. But it also offers kids the opportunity to share common experiences, to meet others with diabetes, and to form meaningful friendships. For many campers this is their first time away from home. Campers learn self care, good nutrition and blood-sugar control. They are shown how to balance meals with activity and exercise.
Many campers learn to give their first insulin shot - a big step toward independence.
We know the realities of diabetes are not easy, but our goal is to help the lives of the campers to be happy, healthy and productive. Except for the information posted by participants on the message board, medical information found on this website is reviewed by our medical staff prior to posting. The purpose of posting medical advice on this website is to assist kids and teens with excellent care of their diabetes. Hodia pays no salaries, and you won't find a better qualified, more dedicated camp staff anywhere. The secluded camp is north of Sun Valley, nestled at the foot of the spectacular Sawtooth Mountains of Central Idaho.
