Camp Mend-a-Heart is a cost-free, medically supervised camp for children who are born with or develop heart problems. Children's Heart Foundation established the camp in an effort to provide children with an opportunity to participate in a variety of fun camp activities.
Camp Mend-a-Heart is a place where children with heart conditions are able to forge friendships, attain hope, and create great memories with one another. Camp Mend-a-Heart is the only medically supervised camp in Nevada offered to children with heart conditions.
Camp Mend-a-Heart is a truly wonderful experience! The children are able to shift their focus from their heart conditions to the richness of life that can be experienced even by those with cardiac problems. They spend time with others who understand what it's like to have a heart condition. One child commented, "It's cool that everyone else has to take meds, too." Many of the boys at camp were shedding their shirts to participate in water-play, for once unconcerned about any visible scars or medical devices. One group even dubbed themselves the "D-team" because they each had a defibrillator under their skin.
