Madden Open Hearts Camp

United States, Great Barrington

Overview

A summer oasis of joy and rejuvenation, the Madden Open Hearts Camp offers a delightful retreat for young hearts that have braved the storm of open heart surgery or a heart transplant. Welcoming children and teenagers between the ages of 8 and 16, this camp is more than a haven; it's a celebration of courage, resilience, and renewed health. Founded by the Madden family, who understood firsthand the challenges of recuperation after heart surgery, this camp is a labour of love and gratitude. Its inception was fueled by the Maddens' desire to create a sanctuary where young heart patients could revel in the beauty of nature, engage in sports, and bask in the joy of recreation, all at their own pace. Beyond its engaging activities and serene surroundings, the Madden Open Hearts Camp stands out for its commitment to inclusivity. The camp opens its arms to all children eager to partake in its offerings, irrespective of their financial resources. This commitment stems from the founders' firm belief that the healing power of nature, camaraderie, and joy should be accessible to all. A beacon of hope and healing since 2003, the Madden Open Hearts Camp is distinguished by its American Camp Association (ACA) accreditation. However, its true accolade lies in the laughter and energy of its campers, the strength of their spirits, and the beat of their brave hearts. So, if your child is seeking a summer of fun, friendship, and a sense of belonging, look no further than the Madden Open Hearts Camp.
