Diabetes camps are a special time for children and youth to enjoy all the wonders and excitement of camp life while being normal. Children and Youth with Type 1 Diabetes can enjoy all of the fun of summer camp while learning more about living with diabetes. One of the great things for the camper is that living with diabetes is the norm for the week, so everyone counts carbs, checks blood sugars, and tries to balance food, insulin, exercise and loads of fun! Campers are encouraged to develop age appropriate responsibilities for maintaining their diabetes. A resident physician, several nurses, a licensed dietitian and other support staff with and without diabetes will provide care during this rewarding camp session.

In 2023, Hodia is hosting a full summer of in-person camp sessions including over night and day camps!

A diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes changes the life of a child forever.

And when diabetes disappears, every camper can show what makes them special, not what makes them different.
