Grief Camp for Coastal Empire Children to be Held April 29th-May 1st

Staff Report From Savannah CEO

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2016

Children ages 6 - 17 who have experienced the death of a loved one within the last 24 months are invited to attend a weekend overnight camp organized by not-for-profit Hospice Savannah’s Full Circle bereavement staff and volunteers.

Camp Aloha will be held April 29 - May 1 at the New Ebenezer Retreat Center in Rincon and is underwritten by community donations and a generous sponsorship from the Kaminsky Automotive Group. Trained volunteers and professionals will provide therapeutic activities to teach the children that they are not alone in their grief experience. Campers enjoy an array of activities such as swimming, sports, games, group therapy sessions, campfires, singing, playing and making new friends who have also experienced loss.
