10. Free Weekend Bereavement Camp
Camp HOPE, Inc.
|
May 14-15
Hello Everyone,
After a long wait, we are happy to announce that Camp HOPE will be hosting our Spring Camp in person on May 14-15! If you are not familiar with Camp HOPE, we are a local nonprofit that has been operating for over 30 years. We offer weekend bereavement camps to grieving children and teens and their adult family members at no cost. The camps are held three times per year (spring, fall and a winter reunion camp) at the Wisconsin Lion's Camp in Rosholt, WI.
Campers will enjoy the same activities of a typical summer camp, such as hiking, boating, fishing, campfires, wall climbs and ropes courses, group activities, sports, folk music, yoga, DJ music and games. We also ensure there is plenty of time for sharing as well as memorial arts and crafts, journaling, grief workbooks and a very special candlelight service in the evening.
At Camp HOPE, kids learn that it is OK to have fun and smile and that doing so is not disrespectful to their loved one who died. They also build strong connections and feel affirmed with other kids their age who have experienced similar losses and are processing difficult emotions, secondary losses and other major changes. Camp HOPE is a safe, equitable space for everyone, whether a camper or volunteer staff member.
For more information on how to register as a camper or to become a volunteer, please visit our website: www.camphopeforkids.org or email me directly. Thank you for sharing this free resource with all your students and families. Take good care.
