IMPORTANT TRANSPORTATION UPDATE FOR 2025 SUMMER CAMPS

Transportation will look a little different this year! Instead of multiple bus check-in locations, there will be a single camp check-in at Luther Heights. This change was made to help sustain camp and continue serving families with type 1 diabetes for years to come, while also giving parents and guardians the opportunity to visit the camp, meet our caring staff, and connect with other families during drop-off.

At the end of camp, campers will be bussed to designated locations in Idaho Falls, Jerome, and Boise, ID for parent or guardian pick-up. More details will be provided closer to camp.

We understand this update may create transportation challenges, so if you’re unable to drive your camper to camp, please feel free to contact us to discuss possible options.

Camp Activities

Arts & Crafts

Kids will spend time exercising the right side of their brains at camp! From bracelets, trinkets, and sculptures, our kids discover artistic talents, which some continue to pursue long after camp is over.

Carnival Party

During the Carnival Party, campers are treated to a variety of exciting activities. From face painting to fortune telling to ring tosses, kids earn tickets to be exchanged for prizes at the end of the day!

Hiking

Some of the nation’s most spectacular hiking trails are in our backyard! Hodia campers of every skill level get the opportunity to explore the Sawtooth Mountains including hikes to high mountain lakes.

Campfire

During campfire, campers are treated to songs old and new and have the opportunity to unwind from their busy day. Many years, we have storytime at campfire!

Horseback Riding

Campers have the opportunity to explore from the back of a horse! This may be the start of a career in horse wrangling!
