About Our Camp


Everyone wants to feel normal. To have a sense of belonging and community. To participate in the same activities and have shared experiences with others. For the 40,000 kids born with heart conditions every year, finding others who can relate to testing, risky procedures, even open-heart surgery—sometimes more than once—can be difficult. For their families, watching a loved one struggle with the physical and emotional scars of being different while trying to make sure they’re safe and cared for presents its own unique challenges.

Camp Bon Coeur is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization depending solely on monetary and in-kind contributions and services for its camp operation. Contributions can be sent to the camp office or can be processed online through the button below.

I’ve been part of Camp Bon Coeur since 2001 when I was a Session A camper. After attending camp from age 7 to 16, I joined the staff as a CIT and later as a counselor. During college, I moved to California to work for the Walt Disney Company, where I developed storytelling skills and partnered with nonprofits to design volunteer training and retention programs.

Camp Bon Coeur had such a profound impact on my life that I earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Nonprofit Management to better serve organizations like CBC. Even while living away, I stayed connected by helping secure donations and sharing camp stories to keep support strong.

When I returned as a counselor, I realized how much I missed actively supporting CBC and mentoring campers. That passion led me to move back and work for Ochsner in the Blood Bank as a Donor Recruiter while continuing to advocate for Camp Bon Coeur and congenital heart defects.
