Teen Camp
Camp Heart Connection’s Teen Camp is a truly special experience offered to all teens served by CCC. CCC recognizes that our teens face unique medical and emotional challenges, and they build strength from being together during their journeys. Teen Camp allows teens who are on or off treatment as well as siblings to come together for a weekend of camp activities. They get to meet new friends and visit with existing ones.
CCC will provide transportation, with pick-up locations at the Children’s Cancer Connection office in Johnston and in Iowa City.
Teen Camp volunteers must be 21+.

Camp Heart Connection is a COCA Gold Ribbon Accredited Camp. Camp Heart Connection leaders completed the Gold Ribbon education program which helps organizations to identify policies and practices, specific to setting and population, that are documented and delivered in the course of providing a medically and emotionally safe pediatric oncology camp experience.
