The goal of this unique program is to provide an opportunity for children living with heart disease the experience of participating in various mountain activities, which they thought they could never do because of the altitutde while under the medical supervision of our professional staff.

   The activities include skiing, ice skating, sledding, pottery making, and dog sledding provided by Mammoth Dog Team, and don’t forget about the snowmen!  Ski lessons are provided through Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra, a team of specialized instructors who have previously worked with our Leadership group.

Camp del Corazon Mammoth Snow Camp Activities


Camp del Corazon’s Mammoth Snow Camp provides a variety of fun and challenging activities to it’s participants. All of the activities are lead by trained and professional camp and mountain staff, and are attended by one or more of our Med Nurses. Below is a list of the activities at our Mammoth camp.

Ski Lessons
Campers will participate in at least one ski lesson while at camp.  Lessons are taught by Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra instructors, and are commonly taught in a one-on-one or one-on-two setting.  DSES Instructors are specially trained to deal with skiers with special needs.

Dog Sledding
Mammoth Dog Teams has graciously provided our campers with a chance to experience what it is like to be part of a dog sled team.  Campers take a 25 min ride in a sled pulled a team of dogs into the beautiful back area of Mammoth Mountain and then back to the main lodge.
 

Sledding
Pull out those saucers.  In between activities our campers are giving the opportunity to ride down some great hills with our counselors and nurses.

Color – Me – Mine
As part of this experience campers get to also spend some time indoors, decorating a piece of ceramic art that is then auctioned off at one of our camp fundraising auctions in the upcoming year.
