Winter Camp

Hodia Winter Camp | January 16th-19th, 2026

For campers 11-17 years old
Registration closes January 5 or as soon as spots are full.

Join us for an unforgettable adventure at Hodia Winter Camp 2026! Spend a magical weekend at Camp Cascade enjoying winter activities, outdoor adventures, cozy campfires and plenty of time with your diabesties! While we won’t be skiing or snowboarding this year*, there are tons of other fun winter activities planned to make this weekend just as exciting!

*Why won’t campers be skiing or snowboarding this year? With Idaho’s continued growth, local ski hills are unable to accommodate large groups during the busy holiday weekend. Instead, campers will enjoy a variety of other winter activities, outdoor adventures, swimming, and time to connect with friends!

 

✨Camper registration opens November 1: Spots fill up fast, so register early to secure your place and avoid the waitlist.

 

✨Staff applications open October 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!

    Camp Fees

    Subsidized Camp Fee

    $400

    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

    $2,000

    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.

    Campership

    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.
