About Camp del Corazon

Location:

11615 Hesby St, North Hollywood, CA 91601, US

Mission Statement

Camp del Corazon provides a medically supervised, free-of-charge, residential summer camp for children ages 7-17 who are living with heart disease, as well as year-round programs for these children and their families. We work to address the needs of children suffering from heart disease in a holistic manner through community, education, support, and enrichment.

Description

A small non-profit, we are a laid back office environment ever working for our campers and their families. We are looking for focused, self-sufficient, volunteers willing to be flexible, work in groups and alone, to help support our efforts.

"...Camp Del Corazon Inc. is still a program about children, for the children, and about teaching children with heart disease that they are not alone, and that strength derives from overcoming obstacles. It is not about raising money (not that this is not important), nor is it about getting publicity, influencing people or even expansion. With this in mind, I have a very modest goal for Camp Del Corazon Inc.: 'To make this opportunity available to anyone who might benefit from it.'"-K. Shannon, M.D.
