The Open Hearts Camp is a place where kids and teens who have had heart surgery can go to feel normal. For 12 nights of sleepaway camp, or 3 nights of family camp, every other camper shares similar experiences. Most of all, camp is a blast! From roasting marshmallows, to jumping in the pool, everything we do celebrates summer fun.

Best of all, no family experiencing financial hardship ever pays a dime.
