The Western Canadian Children’s Heart Network (WCCHN) is hosting the second Western Canadian Virtual Fontan Heart Camp on Saturday, February 26, 2022. Since the pandemic has led to the cancellation of all camps, children aged 8–15 years of age with a Fontan are invited to connect via this free, one-day virtual event.

WCCHN looks forward to connecting children with Fontan to others similar to them through fun activities such as games and crafts and answering any questions you may have about your heart. Registered participants will receive the Zoom link for the event closer to the date.
