Hope With Heart Camp

Mission

To build a community of love among children with moderate to severe heart problems

About

Welcome to Hope With Heart…a place for you to be included!

To experience Hope With Heart is to know Hope With Heart. Each year our Staff and Counselors – many of whom are seasoned HWH campers themselves – greet our campers with open arms. We listen to them. We share with them. We strive to understand them. And then, we offer them a camp experience tailored for fun! Before the week is over, new friendships are made. Experience is gained. Confidence is built. And suddenly, something remarkable happens.

Parents tell us that their child returns home from camp at peace with themselves and with a greater willingness to continue the struggles they face. Often, they show more courage and seem happier with themselves. We think it’s because they find role models from among both campers and counselors. But it might also be because Hope With Heart creates a safe haven where – regardless of their diagnosis – kids can be kids.

“Hope With Heart is one of the few places where I can be myself without judgement, it’s like a second home.”
