Camp Love’s Embrace is an overnight camp for children, ages 7-14 experiencing grief related to the loss of a significant person in their life. Each child is paired one-on-one with a trained mentor. The mentor is solely devoted to a child for the weekend, helping them in arts, and crafts, playing with them in games, and supporting them during the healing circle times. Children are given the opportu
nity to express their grief through art, music, play, circle time, and rituals. Healing circles are lead by professional therapists. Children are encouraged to talk about their loved one, share their stories, and embrace the memories of their loved one. The activities are all designed to work with how children are known to grieve-in small doses and often in momentous ways during everyday activities. Each child designs their own “memory album” to honor their loved ones. All camp volunteers have passed criminal background checks. The weekend closes with a family memorial service and balloon release ceremony. We are currently looking for mentors for our camp! If you are interested please contact Whitney to get the information for the camp!
