Camp Mend-a-Heart
Camp Mend-a-Heart is a cost-free, medically supervised camp for children living in Nevada who are born with or develop heart problems. Camp Mend-a-Heart is dedicated to providing programs for our heart kids that include a ropes course, trust building exercises, arts and crafts, water games and many other recreational activities associated with traditional summer camp. Children who attend Camp Mend-a-Heart are usually not eligible for the summer camping experience offered by other entities due to the fact that they require round-the-clock medical supervision and care. 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 offered to Nevada’s children with heart conditions.
