SUMMER VOLUNTEER STAFF APPLICATIONS OPEN JANUARY 1!

Volunteers are a key part of the Hodia community and camp experience! Volunteering at camp is fun and meaningful, but it also comes with real responsibilities. If you’re ready to work hard, bring a positive attitude, and make a difference while having fun, we’d love to have you on the team! 

Camp Activities

Girls in camp chairs.

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!

Backpacking

The best way to see Idaho’s most beautiful back country is to hike into it! This multi-day backpack trip is challenging. We pack all of our own gear and work together to have a safe and really sweet experience, all while learning how to balance our diabetes care with strenuous exercise in remote places.

Fishing

Camp Fees

Subsidized Camp Fee

$375

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

$1,750

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.
