The Children\u2019s Healthy-Heart Activity Monitoring Program in Saskatchewan<\/b> (<\/span>CHAMPS) is a program primarily for children between the ages of 7 and 17 years with congenital or acquired heart disease. We have more recently developed additional programs to include children 4-6 years and youth 17-20 years. <\/span><\/p>\n

There are three pillars for our programming:<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 2015, CHAMPS camp has provided unique resources for heart families unlike any other offered in Canada<\/a>. CHAMPS gives campers and their families a chance to meet others who experience similar challenges and fears \u2013 fostering lifelong friendships and support networks. Due to past individual health circumstances, campers may have been unable or discouraged to play sports or engage in physically demanding activities. The camp provides an environment where they can try new things, and gain confidence in their abilities. Campers and heart families also have access to clinical health psychology sessions, that focus on topics such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD. <\/span><\/p>\n

“At the first summer camp one of the heart children said to me that ‘I have never met another heart kid, I thought I was the only one.’\u00a0<\/span>“That took my breath away and made me tear up. It showed the impact of just meeting another heart child had and that they didn’t have to feel they were the only ones anymore.”<\/span><\/p>\n
