Wings of Hope One Day Family Bereavement Camp

Hospice Services of Lake County recognizes and addresses the unique ways children grieve and heal from the loss of a loved one. Families with children ages 5 years and older who have experienced the death of a significant person in their lives are invited to attend a one-day, free Bereavement Camp. The camp is scheduled for Saturday, April 5, 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m., in Clearlake.

Camp activities are designed for healing in a fun and positive environment with equine therapy and a family art project. Wings of Hope Bereavement Camps are offered periodically throughout the year and are facilitated by bereavement counselors and trained volunteers.

Most of us will experience the life-altering experience of losing a loved one: the death of a best friend, a parent, son or daughter. These losses can be even more traumatic to children and youth. These are powerful personal events that, if not dealt with effectively, can cycle into a landslide of life-changing events.
