What is OTWC Cardiac Family Camp?
Cardiac Family Camp is a FREE residential weekend for the whole family when a child or young person in the family is living with a congenital or acquired heart condition.
It’s a chance to step away from everyday life, have fun together and make memories as a family. Expect a weekend full of camp activities, laughter and plenty of mischief and magic.
