Welcome to Dragonfly Heart Camp

Where Children Find Strength, Courage and Happiness

What can place a child in better spirits than attending a summer camp?

At Dragonfly Heart Camp

Children find courage - it may be sliding down the zip-line for the first time or overcoming the fears of a "first week away from home."

They will discover new strength and confidence in our caring environment of camping activities - from "landing the big one" to hikes exploring the surrounding natural beauty of the Eastern Shore.

And they will find happiness and acceptance in new friendships with peers who have similar life-experiences as their worries slip away.

And most of all, they get to be kids!

Mission

Dragonfly Heart Camp is a very special summer camp for children who have received a heart and/or lung transplant, or are diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension. It is the first camp in the country that is specifically designed to accommodate children with these complex cardio-pulmonary conditions.

Location

Dragonfly Heart Camp is located on the beautiful grounds of Echo Hill Outdoor School on Maryland's Eastern Shore along the Chesapeake Bay.
