Camp Heartland
This organization
is a place where children infected and affected by HIV/AIDS can have the opportunity to leave the stigma behind them. This camp allows children to have a worry free experience where they can bond with
other children just like them. Year-round programs such as camp reunions, newsletters
and holiday mailings, youth retreats and life enhancement programs reinforce young people's sense of belonging and well-being
on an ongoing basis.
