Hospice of Visiting Nurse Service to Hold Camp for Bereaved Children
The Hospice of Visiting Nurse Service (VNS) Center for Loss and Hope will hold a
free camp daily June 23-25 from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. to help children ages
6-11 process a significant loss, such as a parent, grandparent or sibling.
The children will learn to manage and understand their grief through creative
activities such as drama, music, art and sandtray activities. A morning snack,
boxed lunch and afternoon snack will be provided each day. A staff of
experienced facilitators, including school counselors and bereavement
professionals, will oversee the children as they go through the creative
stations. The camp will be held at the Justin T. Rogers Hospice Care Center at
3358 Ridgewood Road in Fairlawn and is being sponsored by the Westminster
Presbyterian Church.
