Growing up with heart disease can be a significant physical and emotional challenge. Through Camp Joyful Hearts, the Cincinnati Children's Heart Institute strives to help kids with heart disease overcome these challenges with a support network of kids in similar circumstances.
Camp Joyful Hearts is a residential summer camp for kids and teens with heart disease. Camp Joyful Hearts offers many exciting camp activities such as swimming, high ropes, campfires, stargazing in our new observatory and much more! All activities are adapted to each child’s abilities. A pediatric cardiologist and cardiac nurses are onsite 24 hours a day.
Who Attends?
Children and teens with congenital or acquired heart disease, ages 8 to 18, may attend Camp Joyful Hearts. Eligible campers are cardiac patients actively being followed by a cardiologist at the Heart Institute or another medical center. Final admittance to camp is based upon review of our medical staff.
