Virtual Summer Camp a Success

Although the cancellation of in-person summer camp was disappointing, our CHAMPS organizers made the best of things by designing the first-ever virtual CHAMPS camp for our SK heart kids.

Virtual summer camp ran July 13-17, 2020 via Zoom. A variety of sessions were offered such as minute-to-win-it games, psychology, transitioning to adult cardiology, home exercise and mindful movement. Parents and family members were also included and we had great attendance at our “Lunch & Learn” sessions. Check out some of the sessions we offered below or visit our Youtube Channel for more home exercise, education and parent sessions

THANK YOU to our sponsors!

Thank you to Conrad Bendig, Wiebe Windows & More, Bridge City Duct Cleaning, Gibbon Heating & Air Conditioning and Culligan Saskatoon for supporting summer camp this year by providing funds to send each child a camp t-shirt and activity package!

Your generous donations are greatly appreciated. Donations to the Mending Little Hearts Fund also help to make camp possible. Please DONATE today!

It was great to connect heart families in this special way and we are happy to provide a platform for support during these uncertain times. Thank you to everyone who participated and supported this event!!

 

Hope to see you all in-person soon.
