BEREAVEMENT CAMP | SHEILAH A. DOYLE FOUNDATION
A three day bereavement camp is offered for children. Also offers a one day parent program, usually in September.
Campers who attend the three-day event participate in activities like rock climbing and zip lining that challenge them to do things that they would normally wouldn't do, building resilience and helping them learn how to navigate difficult situations. They also take part in small group discussions and art therapy to help them remember and honor their family member, as well as assist them in working through the trauma they've experienced.
Clients should check the website for information and instructions about applying for the scholarship.
