Childrens Grief Camp Volunteers Needed

Save to Favorites

Apply now to be a volunteer for the 26 th Annual Camp Circle of Love - March 23-25 th ! Deadline to apply is March 14th.

All children need to be surrounded by love, especially those who have recently experienced the death of a loved one. LifePath Hospice recognizes the special needs of these children and has created Camp Circle of Love, a weekend camp for children, ages 6 to 18. The experience combines healing with fun, letting children know that life still has a lot to offer, and helps those who have recently lost a loved one share their feelings of loss with others.

Camp combines exciting outdoor activities with opportunities for group discussions led by professionally-trained cabin leaders. Attendees participate in traditional camp activities such as swimming, campfires, hay rides and team sports. Campers also participate in therapeutic activities throughout the weekend, such as a ropes course, arts and crafts, and a scavenger hunt. These activities help the campers cope with grief, re-build trust and gain self-awareness. One of the most poignant activities is our Saturday evening memorial service which provides opportunities for the child to have closure and begin healing.
