Description

A fun, supportive, and empowering environment for children and teens with heart conditions

Medical Team: Children’s National Hospital Heart Center

Camp Heartbeat offers children and teens with heart conditions a week of summer fun, education, and social connections in a safe and supervised environment. Parents can feel comfortable that their children are under the constant care of trained and experienced doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers who specialize in the condition.

In addition to fun, the goal of Camp Heartbeat is to reduce the social isolation that is often associated with heart disorders and increase the knowledge and understanding our campers have about their condition. The camp provides opportunities for the kids to work with professional staff and become better self-advocates and self-managers of their condition. They learn from peers and adult volunteers who live effectively with the condition, serving as role models, and offering hope for a successful future to our campers.
