Children respond to death in different ways. They have so little life experience that moving through the grief process can be extremely difficult and have lifelong consequences.
Camp Healing Heart provides a safe and caring environment for children who have experienced the death of a loved one or friend. Here, campers express their grief, emotion, fear and concerns and learn coping skills that will continue to help them through adulthood.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
• Be a “buddy” to a camper for the day (1-1 interaction with a camper).
• Lead or assist with arts, crafts, sports, or music activities.
• Assist with registration and check-out activities.
• Facilitate grief group activities.
• Volunteer as a runner to help with camp from set-up to clean-up.
