In the radiant sun-kissed state of California, amidst the whispering palms and spunky surfers, we find the most daring adventurers, the bold and brave Rope Course Kids. The bearers of the sunshine in their souls and knots in their hearts (quite literally!), these kiddos are no less than superheroes, all set in their vibrant helmets and sunblock smeared cheeks! Let's meet their quirky leader, Captain Knot-A-Lot! With his spaghetti hair that always seems to be in a knot (just like his ropes), and his mismatched socks, he's got the spirit of a cheetah and the humor of a hyena! Captain Knot-A-Lot is an expert in turning frowns upside-down and ropes round-and-round. Every day at the break of dawn, after a hearty breakfast of pancakes and laughter, our fearless Rope Course Kids march towards their favorite playground - the towering Rope Course, shimmering under the Californian sun. They scramble up the ropes, swing on the vines, and zip through the air, whooping with joy, their laughter echoing off the Golden Gate Bridge! Despite the occasional rope burn and scraped knee, the spirit of these brave hearts never wavers. They take each stumble in their stride, each fall with a roll, and each challenge with a toothy grin. The sweat on their brows and the dirt on their hands are badges of their bravery and determination. Ah, the Rope Course Kids of California! They are a wild, funny bunch, living their Californian dream, one rope course at a time. If you listen closely, you might just hear the echo of their laughter in the Pacific breeze, a testament to their tireless spirit and infectious joy!

Camp del Corazon is a beacon of hope for children living with heart disease, providing a medically supervised, residential summer camp experience free of charge for children ages 7-17. Since 1995, we have served approximately 300 children each year, and grown from a volunteer staff of two and a minimal budget to a thriving community of support and growth. Our camp on Catalina Island, 22 miles off the California coast, is dedicated to providing resources and services for these children and their families, who already incur incredible financial burdens from medical bills and often have to seek private or home schooling due to the numerous doctors' appointments and hospital stays. By supporting Camp del Corazon, we give these children the chance to experience the joy of summer camp and connect with other kids who understand what it's like to live with heart disease.
