Family Camp

All ages and families welcome!

Our Family Camp Weekends are held at the Y Camp in Boone, Iowa. 

Spring Family Camp: April 21-23, 2023

Fall Family Camp: October 27-29, 2023 

Never been to camp before? Recently diagnosed? Camp veteran who can’t get enough? 

Family Camp is just for you! Camp Hertko Hollow’s Family Camp is focused on providing inclusive family-centered programming that allows families to participate in camp activities, connect with other families living with diabetes, and spend quality time together as a family. This weekend is a great opportunity for families with newly diagnosed children or children who haven’t attended summer camp yet. Families get to learn first-hand what the summer camp experience is about, meet our staff, and hear from other families how Camp Hertko Hollow has changed their experience with diabetes. 

Come join us—unplug, enjoy the beautiful outdoors, and make lasting memories as a family!

Scholarships and Financial Aid

Please do not allow the need for assistance to stand in the way of your son or daughter attending Camp Hertko Hollow. We fundraise all year long for your child and are honored to help in any way possible. Your child will greatly benefit from the experience and we are here to help get your child to camp!
