SUMMARY:Leaders In Training - Oncology
DESCRIPTION:Camp Heart Connection’s Leaders In Training (LIT) Program is designed to educate selected campers on how to become a Camp Heart Connection counselor upon graduation. The LIT Program is an intensive\, highly engaged two-week session. An optional session is held virtually to prepare LITs prior to their in-person camp session. While LITs will without question bond with others in their sessions\, the primary objective is to give back to the campers. Instead of just participating\, LITs will be facilitating games\, activities\, debriefs and more. We want the LITs to learn how to initiate meaningful relationships with campers. The program will build on characteristics needed to do this such as fostering a sense of belonging\, empowerment\, security and trust. \nLearn more about LITs and where to sign up on our LIT page: https://ccciowa.org/leaders-in-training \n

SUMMARY:2027 Sibling Camp
DESCRIPTION:Camp Heart Connection’s Sibling Camp is a true summer camp experience for CCC youth ages 5 through graduating high school seniors. Activities include wall climbing\, arts and crafts\, horseback riding and more. Siblings are typically not the center of attention when it comes to childhood cancer\, but they still carry the scars of cancer inside. At Sibling Camp siblings will experience a week they can call their own. It’s a place where they can reconcile their emotions. No matter the treatment outcome of their sibling\, this week is theirs and free to attend. Once a camper comes to camp\, whether for one week or their entire childhood\, they will forever be part of the Camp Heart Connection family.  If your child has unique developmental or behavioral needs and requires accommodations\, we’d still love to have them at camp! Please reach out to camp@ccciowa.org to discuss this further. \nRegistration opens February 1 and closes May 2. \nTo register to attend or volunteer\, please go HERE!

SUMMARY:2028 Sibling Camp
DESCRIPTION:Camp Heart Connection’s Sibling Camp is a true summer camp experience for CCC youth ages 5 through graduating high school seniors. Activities include wall climbing\, arts and crafts\, horseback riding and more. Siblings are typically not the center of attention when it comes to childhood cancer\, but they still carry the scars of cancer inside. At Sibling Camp siblings will experience a week they can call their own. It’s a place where they can reconcile their emotions. No matter the treatment outcome of their sibling\, this week is theirs and free to attend. Once a camper comes to camp\, whether for one week or their entire childhood\, they will forever be part of the Camp Heart Connection family.  If your child has unique developmental or behavioral needs and requires accommodations\, we’d still love to have them at camp!
