Financial Aid Application

Letter to Groups and Clubs

IF you have diabetes and are in grades K thru 12 ----come to CAMP HERTKO HOLLOW this summer ! (Iowa's Camp for youth ages 6-18 who happen to have diabetes)

IF your parents can pay the full camp fee of $750 - THAT'S GREAT! (Fee is $375 for Mini-camp.) We also welcome additional donations to help sponsor other campers who need financial assistance.

IF your parents can contact a local service club, relative, business, or any organization to get a sponsor for the full or partial camp fee -THAT'S WONDERFUL! Be sure to write down the name, address, phone, and E-Mail of the sponsor on your application form or with the check so that we can send a thank you letter. Make checks payable to "Camp Hertko Hollow" and mail with your application. If necessary, the application and check can be mailed separately.

It's really helpful to have many persons seeking camperships for Camp Hertko Hollow. Local groups like Lions Clubs are usually very happy to help---they just need to be asked. Often these clubs will pay the entire camp fee. Just look in the phone book under "Service Clubs", ask your Chamber of Commerce, or contact your health care team for assistance. Unwillingness to seek campership funds will not affect acceptance of the camper's application

IF you are unable to find a sponsor, and need financial assistance, please fill out the enclosed Application for Financial Aid. (Form is not needed for those who get their own camperships arranged.) We will arrange a partial or full campership for you from funds that have been or are being made available to Camp Hertko Hollow thru the "Hertko Hollow Children's Diabetes Camp Foundation" or from other donations to Camp Hertko Hollow. Parents are asked to pay part of the camp fee according to a sliding scale chart.

Please do not allow the need for a campership stand in the way of your son or daughter attending Camp Hertko Hollow. Your child will greatly benefit from the experience and we are here to help get your child to camp!
