This fall Hospice and Palliative Care of the Eastern Shore will sponsor a grief camp for children ages 7-17 who reside on the Eastern Shore and who have lost a significant loved one due to death, incarceration, foster placement, military deployment or divorce. Camp Fragile Hearts is scheduled for October 19-20, at YMCA Camp Silver Beach.Camp Fragile Hearts Grief Camp provides a safe, nurturing environment where children and teens ages 7-17 can express their grief over the loss of a loved one and begin the healing process. Campers not only get support from professionals and their "Big Buddy" volunteer, but also experience real healing from being around other kids and teens who have faced similar losses. And because it's a camp, they also get to be kids and participate in typical camp activities like canoeing, rope courses, scavenger hunts, sports and more!
Space is limited, so we encourage you to complete and return your application by Friday, June 29, 2012. Camp is made possible through generous donations, fund raising events and private donors to offset the cost.
