Camp Braveheart

The Camp That's All Heart

At Camp Braveheart, every child’s possibilities are endless. From team-building activities to individual support, this camp has something for everyone. Camp Braveheart gives every child the chance to experience camp, build friendships and make memories to last a lifetime.

Every child needs to feel special. A child with congenital or acquired heart defects is no different. We promote positive self-esteem with fun and learning. At Camp Braveheart, the only requirements are to laugh, play, grow and explore.

Camp Braveheart is organized by Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Kathy and Roger Flynn established the camp in honor of their daughter, Ansley, who was born with a heart defect.  Today, camp continues in Ansley’s memory. Children ages 7 to 18 can attend camp at no cost through the generous support of private foundations, corporations and individuals—donations are always welcome. 

Helping each child build friendships and share lasting memories, camp volunteers include:

• Doctors
• Nurses
• Other healthcare professionals who can provide medicine and treatment when needed
• Community members who serve as counselors and activity leaders

Parents can rest assured that their child is exploring life in a safe and caring place. Camp Braveheart is held each year at Camp Twin Lakes, a facility designed for children with special needs. The camp is located an hour east of Atlanta in Rutledge, Ga.
