Camp H.E.A.L (Healing and Encouragement after Loss), is a day camp for bereaved children, ages 6-12. Camp H.E.A.L. is sponsored by
Archbold Hospice and free to attend for all children, thanks to funding from the
Archbold Foundation.
The purpose of our camp is to offer an opportunity, outside of the home and school, for children to learn about and to discuss grief issues in a relaxed environment. Trained volunteers and Licensed counselors will work with and supervise the children throughout the day. A combination of classic camp and support activities, including quilting, archery, journaling, pet therapy, animal encounters, hay rides and kickball will be used to assist the children with their grief process. At the close of camp, a special memorial activity will be conducted. Meals and snacks are provided.
All campers must pre-register below by the registration deadlines.
For more information, please contact Linda Conti, Bereavement Coordinator and Camp H.E.A.L. Chair at 229-584-5505 or lconti@archbold.org.
