The camp will be hosted by Living Earth School in a beautiful natural setting. Children and teens will be involved in nature-focused and expressive activities to promote grief healing. The day will include a parent/guardian’s group, snacks and lunch for campers, nature art, games, campfire, s’mores, and a meaningful closing ceremony. Campers will have fun, see that they are not alone, and understand that their feelings of grief are normal. Transportation from a more convenient location is available if needed!
