Purpose Statement

Camp Hertko Hollow is dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and teens living with type 1 diabetes. We provide an educational, therapeutic, and recreational camping experience designed to empower children and teens with the knowledge and skills they need to manage their diabetes while building confidence, independence, and lasting friendships.

We envision a future where every child and teenager with diabetes gains the confidence, skills, and support to lead a healthy, active life. Through our innovative programs, we aim to build a community where young people feel inspired to manage their health and thrive, both at camp and in everyday life.
Camp Hertko Hollow is a not-for-profit entity with 501(c)(3) status and is not directly affiliated with any national diabetes organizations. Camp Hertko Hollow is a member of the Diabetes Education and Camping Association (DECA) and is accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA).
