Another Successful Camp Happy Hearts for Mercy Care
Apr 12, 2010MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – Mercy Care hosted its annual “Camp Happy Hearts” on Saturday, April 10, 2010 with near perfect weather! The one day camp was held at Christ United Methodist Church in Fantasy Harbour and is held twice a year.
The event is designed for children who experience life-long illnesses in their family, or who’ve experienced the loss of a family member.
A record breaking 63 children showed up for the camp, ranging in ages from 5 to 18. They rode horses, blew bubbles to heaven in memory of a loved one, and watched a magic show.
Tom Badurski, director of the children’s program at Mercy Care says, “It’s a chance for them to be a child and just let all of their worries go.”
Camp Happy Hearts is one component of Mercy’s comprehensive children’s program. Mercy offers individual and group counseling for suffering children . . .
