The staff of Idaho Diabetes Youth Programs that runs Hodia Kids Camp, Hodia Shooting Stars, Hodia Teen Camp , Hodia Wilderness Camp and Hodia Ski Camp are dedicated to improving the lives of children and teens with diabetes. [read more about us]   Our Mission Idaho Diabetes Youth Programs Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that sponsors camps and programs for all children and teens with type 1 diabetes.  These programs foster self-reliance and demonstrate that people need not be limited by diabetes.  Teaching by example, our staff provides mentoring and support to these kids, teens and families regardless of ability to pay in a safe, healthy, and respectful environment. Our Purpose Our programs strive to foster self-esteem and self-reliance in a safe, healthy environment. Campers learn self care, good nutrition and blood-sugar control. They are shown how to balance meals with activity and exercise. Many campers learn to give their first insulin shot—a big step toward independence. We know the realities of diabetes are not easy, but our goal is to help the lives of the campers to be happy, healthy and productive. [read more about our purpose]

On Facebook On Twitter @HodiaID Tweet Our Staff We are especially proud of our significant volunteer support. Nearly all of IDYP’s camp, event, and business staff are volunteers. They either have diabetes themselves and grew up in our programs or are medical professionals with expertise in type 1 diabetes. Our volunteers give more than 10,000 hours of their time to make camp happen each year.Many of the staff have been with Camp Hodia for well over 20 years.
