Hodia Shooting Stars Day Camp | June 8th-12th, 2026
For kids entering kindergarten to 5th grade in Fall 2026
IMPORTANT REGISTRATION INFO FOR 2026 SHOOTING STARS DAY CAMP
To ensure as many kids as possible have the opportunity to experience camp, Shooting Stars Day Camp will have a waitlist this year. Enrollment for this session is priority-based, not first come, first served. If your child is eligible for other Hodia camps this summer, we encourage you to explore those options. This camp has filled quickly in the past, and we want to make sure our youngest and first-year campers have a chance to join the fun!
CITs for this session will also need to join the waitlist.

SUMMER VOLUNTEER STAFF APPLICATIONS OPEN JANUARY 1!
Our volunteers bring camp to life. Along with the fun, we count on you to show up with reliability, a positive spirit, and respectful communication to support campers and fellow volunteers!
At Hodia Shooting Stars Day Camp, campers will take part in a variety of fun activities while developing essential skills and building lifelong friendships. They’ll connect with other kids and adults with type 1 diabetes, and learn important self-care from medical professionals in a safe, welcoming environment. This year’s activities include arts and crafts, games, engaging diabetes education, and exciting field trips to explore different spots around the Treasure Valley!
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.
Hands-On-Fun
A fun hands-on approach inspires young minds to take an active role that stimulates learning and addresses the developmental needs of children.
Singing
We will be singing some of our favorite Hodia songs!
Making Friends
At Hodia, kids meet lifelong friends who also have diabetes.
Camp Fees
Subsidized Camp Fee
$225
This fee is for families in our service area: Idaho, Eastern Oregon, Western Wyoming or Northern Utah. Generous supporters make this subsidy possible, and we are so grateful for each of those donors.*
Full Camp Fee
$900
The true cost of camp for each camper. This is the fee for campers outside of our service area and for those who can pay the fee. Selecting this option allows us to spend donated funds on subsidy and/or campership of families with true financial need.
*Camperships
TBD
Thanks to the generosity of many donors, Hodia has never turned a child away due to financial need. To request financial assistance, simply register for camp and complete the Campership Application. Camperships are awarded based on financial need.
If your family has an extenuating situation and requires a full Campership, or if you need flexibility with the registration fee, please contact us.
