Prince William Forest Park is an oasis of natural beauty located only 35 miles south of Washington, D.C.  Outdoor recreational opportunities abound, including a swimming lake, hiking trails, forest and meadow open space, and a ball field. The park's 15,000 acre Piedmont forest includes 37 miles of hiking trails, several lakes and streams, two campgrounds and five cabin camps, and a wealth of human history reaching back over 10,000 years.

Visit the Prince William Forest Park website for more information about the park.

Family HEART Camp includes programs for adults, children, and youth.  The daily schedule includes structured programming for parents and children, time together as an entire community, opportunity for empathy in groups or one-on-one, and flexible time for rest and recreation.  All formal programs are led by our capable staff, with ample space for participants to share their skills and passions. 

More specific information on programming is available in the Programs section.

Our camp was inspired by the Washington State NVC Family Camp, and two senior members of that camp's staff helped create the fabulous experience of Family HEART Camp 2009. Please visit their web site if you would like to see another example of an NVC-based family camp.
