Camp Courage 2018 - 25th Annual Grief Camp for Children . Please Note --> This is a Past Event!! . Date: 6/22/2018 TO 6/24/2018 Time: 10:00 AM TO 2:00 PM 1421 E. Fruitvale Road Holton Michigan, 49425 231.728.344 Phone: Not Available Event Description: Harbor Hospice has been offering Camp Courage for 24 years as a way to help children and their families following the death of a loved one. The emotions of grief can be overwhelming and isolating for children who have not yet developed the verbal and emotional skills to navigate the grief process. Children grieve differently than adults and need time to just “be kids” as well as time to honor and remember their loved one. Kids often feel alone in their grief and thrive when able to connect with others who understand their unique experience. Harbor Hospice staff and trained volunteers create a safe, stable environment for children to explore and express their grief, remember their loved one, and connect with others who have experienced a death. Children participate in traditional camp activities such as swimming, hiking and campfires, along with grief-tailored activities that teach healthy coping skills. Camp Courage, an overnight camping experience for children ages 6-12 and teens 15-19 as Junior Counselors, is held at Pioneer Trails on Big Blue Lake in Muskegon County beginning Friday, June 22, 2018 at 10:00 am through Sunday, June 24, 2018 at 2:00 pm. Application deadline is May 31, 2018. The only cost for camp is a one-time $10 registration fee.
