Camp Brave Hearts

Being average doesn't seem like much to strive for, yet it can mean everything for children who yearn to do things that other kids do. Camp Brave Hearts gives these children that chance at Center for Courageous Kids in Scottsville, KY.  Supported by a medical staff, a world class facility and financial support from Brave Hearts through the Norton Children's Hospital Foundation, children can pack their bags and set out for camp, free of charge.

• On-site Camp Medical Center
  
  We know that your child's health is most important to you, and being away at camp is no exception. The Center for Courageous Kids has experienced medical staff who are trained in all aspects of medical camping. Should a child need medical care during their time at camp, the medical center is equipped to be very supportive in a "behind the scenes" way. Additional medical care is provided by Norton Children's Heart Institute cardiologists and nursing staff, coordinated by the Center for Courageous Kids full-time medical director.
