Begun in 1995 by a pediatric cardiologist and a cardiovascular nurse, Camp del Corazon provides a free-of-charge residential summer camp on Catalina Island off the coast of California to 300+ kids (ages 7-17) living with congenital heart disease. Over the past 25 years, Camp del Corazon has grown to include year round programming, including virtual camp, an educational symposium for heart families, and a young adult program (ages 18-25) to support former campers as they transition to adulthood and take ownership of their health. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! Camp is more than all these awesome programs, camp is a FEELING! Camp has become a community and a FAMILY to so many kids and families who thought they were alone. 

And now, Camp has become OUR family! Camp means so much to us. I want to make sure that Camp continues to provide a community and family for future generations of heart kids and families. Will you help us? You can join our team, make a donation, share the link to this page on social media, or come volunteer at FamFest on October 21 and be part of the camp magic! Thanks for helping to raise awareness and funds for this organization that is so close to our hearts.
