The following was written by a camper and a parent and demonstrates what the camping experience means for both the campers and parents.
“I can see what other kids have gone through and how they survived. It helps me get through & conquer. We are all survivors. That’s a gift.” – Camper
“As we expected camp has been WONDERFUL. The genuine smile on my daughter’s face in the pictures I took at drop off and the ones the counselors are sending me are testament to what an amazing thing you are doing. Thank you so very, very much!!! I cried leaving her, but not for the reason I thought I would be crying at drop off. I cried because I had a place to leave my child that I felt she fit in and I felt good about…in our world that just doesn’t happen often. This camp has been a blessing and I thank you so much for the time, energy, stress and love you put into making it ALL that it is to so many!!!!” – Parent

“When I'm at camp, I feel like a normal kid. Some kids don't get to go outside because our parents are just working too much and too hard. At home, I'm just watching movies all day. I don't want to get too old to come to Wildwood.”
“Without the support of Camps for Kids and the matching fund, CHD Families would be unable to provide a free medically supervised summer camp for kids with Congenital Heart Defects.”
“I look back on the struggle of my childhood and one of the most important and best childhood memories I have include the time spent at camp with the amazing men and women who treated me like I was normal despite my struggle”
