Camp del Corazon

Camp del Corazon is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing experiential supervised programs for children and young adults living with congenital heart disease. Founded in 1995, the organization's flagship program is a summer camp held on Catalina Island, California, which is offered free of charge to families. The camp is staffed by volunteer pediatric cardiologists, nurses, and other medical professionals to ensure a safe environment for children who are often excluded from traditional recreational activities due to medical risks. Beyond the summer program, the organization fosters a supportive community through leadership programs and family events. It serves as a vital resource for pediatric cardiology patients, helping them build confidence and connect with peers facing similar health challenges.
