We're so excited for our 1st Annual Heart Moms Retreat at the Open Hearts Camp!

Here is more information about the event

  • Thursday, August 6th to Friday, August 7th.

    Participants who are staying the night will sleep in our beautifully refurbished cabins.

  • The Heart Moms Retreat will be for mothers who have a child younger than 16 years old who has, or may have a heart surgery or procedure, in alignment with our Mission and Non-Profit By-Laws.

    There has been tremendous interest in the Moms Retreat, which affirms our commitment to offering this program, and illuminates a huge need for community and connectedness. We are working with community partners to identify other resources for families seeking support and community.

    In the meantime please check out the Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Center at Boston Children’s Hospital which has curated a wonderful Community Resource Guide. There you can find events (virtual and in-person) and organizations to further connect with.

  • The retreat will be hosted at our beautiful camp property.
    Our address is:

    250 Monument Valley Road

    Great Barrington, MA 01230

  • No. You can choose to stay overnight or leave the evening of August 6th. Whatever is best for you and your family is wonderful.

  • The Heart Moms Retreat is a chance for you to meet other heart moms and enjoy a full day and evening of camp fun.

    There will be group activities, ‘me time’, wonderful meals, and of course, a campfire!

  • Being the mom of a heart warrior is a one-of-a-kind experience. We want to create a space where you can come together and find comradery, joy, and support through camp fun.

  • Bring an overnight bag, bedding for a twin sized bed, your pillow, and a swim-suit if you’d like to swim.

    Our bunks have beautifully renovated bathrooms and air conditioning.

  • The Moms Retreat is 100% free. Our gift to you.

    There will be an OPTIONAL $25.00 registration fee. Our camp exists for you, your family, and heart warriors thanks to the generous support of a trust established by Edward J. Madden, grants, and donors.
