Camp Hertko Hollow | #CDM2024 Nonprofit Partner
Christkindlmarket Des Moines is pleased to partner with Camp Hertko Hollow as a Nonprofit Partner this year.
Camp Hertko Hollow and their team of volunteers will be managing a point of sale at the Glühwein Refill area in the Biergarten on Saturday and Sunday. All cash tips placed in their tip jar at their point of sale will go directly to their organization. The Iowa European Cultural Connection, the nonprofit that produces Christkindlmarket Des Moines, will also make a $500 donation as part of our partnership.
Camp Hertko Hollow is dedicated to improving the lives of children and youth who have type 1 diabetes. The goals at camp are: Recreation, Education, Regulation and FUN! Campers enjoy the traditional camp activities while learning about living with diabetes. Camp focuses on fostering relationships to strengthen the T1D community.
The mission of Camp Hertko Hollow is to:
- Provide an educational and recreational camping program for Iowa’s youth between the ages of 6-17 who have diabetes.
- Promote diabetes management skills.
Help children gain independence and develop a positive attitude for controlling the disease.
