Please plan to arrive between 1:00 PM and 4:30 PM on Sunday for registration and please feed your camper lunch before you arrive. Please arrive between these hours only. Arriving at times apart from these hours will disrupt camp and staff activities. If you are unable to come to camp and have registered, please contact us.
When should I pick my camper up from Teen Camp? [back to top]
Camp ends at 10 AM on Saturday. Please arrange to pick up your camper.

ALL medications and herbal or vitamin supplements must come in their original and labeled containers in order to be administered at camp. Please DO NOT send medications in medisets or baggies. For questions, call Vicki Cutshall, Camp Nurse, at 867-3907.

Can I get a ride to camp? [back to top]
We can assist you in making arrangements for a ride to and from camp with other families or by one of our shuttle vans from either the Treasure Valley or South Eastern Idaho. Email us at info@hodia.org if you need this service. Final arrangements will be set about a week before camp starts.

Is a gluten free diet available if my child has Celiac Disease? [back to top]
Camp Hodia provides a gluten free diet at all of our programs for kids that have celiac disease. Food is purchased, prepared and stored in a manner that minimizes the risk of gluten cross contamination with other foods. In order to assist us with camp preparation, please mark that your child has celiac disease on the camp registration form (the question about other medical conditions). If you have any questions, please contact the camp director or email us at info@hodia.org.
