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.
