This camp is offered at NO COST to participants thanks to a collaboration between our sister-non-profit BLUESOUL and generous support from the local communities. Camp Connection is a 2-day camp for children who are adjusting to the death of a loved one. Developed by a licensed therapist, this camp promotes understanding, acceptance, healing, and hope through a program of playful and therapeutic activities. It is staffed by a licensed therapist and trained staff.
Grief is hard, and it can be especially challenging for children who do not have the life experiences and resources adults draw on during difficult times. Camp can fill that gap by:
Developing coping skills for expressing and processing feelings
Providing connection to peers who also have experienced loss
Providing therapeutic and social activities
Teaching and modeling to campers that it is ok to have fun and still honor their loved ones
Assisting campers to talk openly about their loved ones
Campers will enjoy a day filled with indoor and outdoor activities, including art and water play!
Camp t-shirt, lunch and snacks are provided each camp day. Campers will need to bring sunscreen, bug spray, and weather appropriate clothing.
