Camp Courage helps children who are experiencing grief and loss by incorporating the fun of camp along with healing activities to help them…
- Understand that their feelings are normal
- Realize that they’re not alone in their grief
- Learn that it’s OK to have fun while still grieving
- Have the opportunity to share their loss and memories
Activities at camp are designed to help kids learn different coping skills, build resilience and have fun.
- Team building activities help develop social skills and emphasize the importance of helping others
- Games teach coping skills that help youth deal with life’s daily stressors in addition to grief
- Arts and crafts help kids express emotions for times when words fall short
- Decompression times help youth learn ways of handling stress and calming strategies
A licensed independent social worker with grief certification is on-site all week to assist youth with any special needs. All staff and volunteers go through training prior to camp as well as background checks.
