EverWild’s Summer Camp provides children with meaningful experiences in nature alongside qualified mentors. Each week presents a different theme. Our talented mentors will lead children in earth-based skills, games, and adventures. EverWild offers a variety of camps including camps that drop-off and pick up from our predetermined locations in nature, camps that use a van for transportation from your local park to the mountains and beaches, and overnight camps.
Camp del Corazon Inc. is a 501(c)(3) Non-profit corporation, providing a free of charge, medically supervised, residential summer camp for children ages 7-17 who are living with heart disease as well as additional programs for these children and their families. All proceeds are spent on the camp, and its programming, and we are staffed entirely by volunteers.
We offer our camping program free-of-charge, as the families affected by this disease already incur incredible financial burdens from medical bills and often have to seek private or home schooling due to the numerous doctors’ appointments and hospital stays these children require.
We also provide an environment that offers support and self-esteem building and socialization that these children do not otherwise have access to. Impact of camp studies prove that camp helps to strengthen the confidence and self-esteem of children and your support will give these very special children life-altering experiences that cannot be put into words. As a testament to the impact the camp has on these young souls, most return year after year to relive experiences they can get nowhere else.
Camp del Corazon provides camp magic to kids with heart disease. Share our camp with your friends and family, and together we can make a difference in these children’s lives.
