Children's
Heart Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the improvement and
quality of life for Nevada children with heart problems, is hosting the 9th
annual Camp Mend-a-Heart at Rapport Executive Ranch in Alamo. The camp will be
held from Sunday, June 23 through Thursday, June 27, where children who are
born with or develop heart problems are able to forge relationships, attain
hope and build memories.
Camp
Mend-a-Heart is a cost-free, medically supervised camp where children
throughout Nevada are invited to participate in fun camp activities with other
children who share similar conditions. Crafts, water fun, hiking, obstacle
courses and some “hanging out” time are some of the activities that will be
offered for the kids as well as a full medical staff to oversee the activities.
Camp
Mend-a-Heart has two age divisions within the camp, Teen and Junior. The Teen
group ages 13 through 18, will be able to stay throughout the entire camp from
noon on Sunday, June 24 through 4 p.m. on Thursday, June 28. In turn, the Junior group ages 7 through 12,
will be held for two nights beginning at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, June 26 through 4
p.m. on Thursday, June 28. The camp will be held at Rapport Executive Retreat
in Alamo Nevada.
