Overview

"Camp Hollywood Heart" is an amazing FREE summer camp only for children with HIV and AIDS.  This is a place children can go an be with others that are going through the same illness they are.  We fly in children from all over the United States to California to attend a one week amazing camp just for them.  The children at Camp Pacific Heartland can be kids without worrying that they will be teased if someone finds out they have AIDS.  We have talent contest, camp fires, swimming, and all the fun you have at a regular camp.  Camp Hollywood Heart is for children ages of 7-18.  This is an ongoing camp with many budget concerns.  Depending on our budget, we can offer many different excursions and day-trips to make this camp the best it can be.  Our goal is to make this camp the highlight of the child's year and for each child to build memories and friendships to last a lifetime.
