After 30 summers of gathering and celebrating children with an HIV-positive status, Camp Heartland in Willow River, Minnesota is up for sale. Childhood HIV in the U.S. is almost non-existent, leading the camp to have less and less families to serve.

NEIL WILLENSON: ...So the year we were founded, 1,630 children were born with HIV ... it's just a medical miracle 30 years later. There might be a handful or less in the US born. They can prevent mother to child transmission. So any founder dreams of the day that their charity can go out of business.
