About Your Donations, Where & How They are used

When you give to Camp Ho Mita Koda, your donated funds are used to run the year-round programs that support our mission of helping children living with Type 1 Diabetes grow in mind, body, and spirit through an outdoor camping experience that strengthens their confidence and creates a community of peers. The bulk of the money we receive goes directly to these initiatives.
 
In addition to our initiatives, a portion of gifts may be used to serve day-to-day needs, such as making specific product purchases to fill inventory gaps in camp operations. This thoughtful and effective use of your funds is a major reason why CHMK is recognized as a top charity and practices open book management. It’s a tribute to the financial efficiency, accountability, and transparency that Camp Ho Mita Koda brings to everything we do. Our first and foremost goal is to make sure that donations are used to make an immediate and real difference in our community.

Camperships

In 2019, 45% of our campers were able to attend a CHMK experience because of the generosity of our financial assistance program, fully supported by donations from the community. This means that over 100 campers had the opportunity of a life-changing experience because of the love shown. 

Camp Operations

Operating a facility that is over 90 years old comes with its own set of unique issues. We strive to provide world class facilities and are working our way there. Donations that support our maintenance team go directly to upgrading cabins, replacing bathroom fixtures, winterizing buildings, replacing roofs, and so much more! 

Program Supplies

Each season we need to replace and/or upgrade equipment that has collected from over the years. This includes keeping our climbing equipment (harnesses, helmets, ropes, etc) in proper working order, rescue tubes for lifeguards, lifejackets, boats, and so much more! 

Medical Expenses

Each season we utilize over $200,000 in medical supplies to support our camp operations. This includes glucose tabs, syringes, sharps containers, insulin, alcohol swabs, lancets, meters, strips, and so much more. 

Get in Touch. Get Involved.

Camp Ho Mita Koda is only successful because of the hard work and dedication of our families, campers, staff, alumni, and community. We would love to have you as a part of the team and have many opportunitites for giving.
