Entry Background/Description: Camp Heart Connection has been around for 35 years, and we have sadly begun to welcome campers who are second-generation campers. Jessica Craig tells the story of spending years in her youth as a Sibling Camper and how she now sends her daughters to Camp Heart Connection as well. While it’s bittersweet, Jessica explains why it’s so important that her daughters have the same memory-making experiences and opportunities to make life-long friends that she had.
Why You Should Vote for Me: The Craigs offer a very unique take on Camp Heart Connection. There are likely not many families in the country who can tell this same story. Jessica’s emotional tale as well as her daughters’ excitement for camp in the face of strife are truly heart-warming.
