CAMP HO MITA KODA
Camp Ho Mita Koda is a community retreat center and coed summer camp for kids and teens with Type 1 Diabetes. Located in Newbury, Ohio, our overnight and family camps welcome boys and girls in grades K-12 for one-week sessions. Founded in 1929, Camp Ho Mita Koda is the first and oldest operating summer camp in the world for kids with T1D!
The CHMK Difference
CHMK’s minimal technology coupled with a non-competitive program is designed to build confidence, grow independence, encourage friendships, healthy lifestyle choices and develop 21st-century skills.
Our Staff
At the very core of Camp Ho Mita Koda is our staff, made up of teachers, education students, medical professionals, college athletes and coaches, artists and other young professionals. We select only the best, most dedicated, and qualified staff, many of whom grew up at CHMK as campers or LITs.
