What we do
The Nick & Kelly Children’s Heart Fund has two programs to help support Arizona families whose children have congenital heart disease.
Family Assistance
The Nick & Kelly Children’s Heart Fund covers expenses for families of children with congenital heart disease that are often not paid for by many insurance policies. These expenses may include ambulance service, air evacuation, some prescription medications and travel and lodging for the family during heart surgeries that are not performed locally. Families seeking assistance are referred to the Nick & Kelly Children’s Heart Fund by their cardiologist, social worker or other medical professional.

The Camp Experience
We believe that children suffering from congenital heart disease should go to camp too – just like their friends! That’s why each year we pay tuition and travel expenses for Arizona children to attend the Nick & Kelly Children’s Heart Camp located in Prescott, AZ.
The Nick & Kelly Children’s Heart Fund has sponsored 1900 camper experiences for the last 25 years.
Heart Camp is one of the few camps with a medical staff on hand to care for these special-needs Arizona children ages 7-17. Nick & Kelly Children’s Heart Camp provides families peace of mind while offering kids the full camping experience – from sleeping in a cabin, hiking, water sports and recreation to arts and crafts. It also provides a setting that is supportive and inspires self-esteem building and socialization for children who have congenital heart disease. Registration for camp opens on Valentine's Day every year. See our camp website for more information!

Volunteers who are interested in coming to camp may use the same link. Volunteers should be in good physical shape to keep up with our heart kids! Volunteers provide their own transportation to Prescott, but we do offer carpool connections. Must be at least 19 years of age and pass a background check.
