Camp Fees
There is a Tiered Camp Fee for a week at Camp Hertko Hollow. Mini-campers
(ages 6- 7) pay half of the full week fee for 3 nights. Parents are asked
to pay what they can afford.
- Actual Cost of $1,000
- Tier 1 $750 (Normal camp fee)
- Tier 2 $500
- Tier 3 $250
- Tier 4 $50 (Pay deposit only and submit Application for Financial Aid)
Our goal is to have every child with diabetes attend camp, regardless of
their family financial situation. Many parents are able to solicit
donations or do fund raisers to help support Camp Hertko Hollow. Click here

Facilities
Since 1972, Camp Hertko Hollow has been held at the Des
Moines YMCA Camp site north of Boone, Iowa. It is located along the Des Moines River.
Facilities include a new Pioneer Building with offices and meeting rooms, remodeled dining room and
kitchen, Olympic size swimming pool, horse stables, arts & crafts lodge, health lodge and 24
cabins. Campers live in cabins with other campers their age along with a Y leader, health
professionals, and diabetes counselors. There are usually 14 bunk beds per
cabin. The Y Camp provides a safe place for campers to learn about life in the outdoors
and make lifelong friendships. The values of caring, respect, responsibility, honesty and
health are emphasized during the week at camp.
