New Diagnosis Resources
Receiving the unexpected news that your child has Type 1 Diabetes is one of the scariest things that a family can go through. Sending your camper to overnight camp for an extended period away from home, for the first time after a recent diagnosis, can be equally as scary. However, a positive camp experience during the first year of diagnosis is essential and provides a framework for support for both the camper and family that will carry through for the rest of their lives.
Camp Registration
Camp Ho Mita Koda is proud to provide first-time campers who have had a T1D diagnosis within 12 months of the start of the camp with a FREE WEEK OF CAMP.
