Summer camp trip to Ireland
10th – 17th July 2026
The Eurohearts 2026 group enjoyed an incredible week in Ireland, bringing together young people living with congenital heart disease from Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Spain and Great Britain.
Throughout the week, participants had opportunities to build their confidence, learn more about their condition and form lasting friendships in a fun and supportive environment.
A huge thank you to Heart Children Ireland for organising such a memorable experience and we can’t wait to see what next year brings!
