Wings of Hope One Day Family Bereavement Camp
2025-04-05 10:00 - 14:00 | CA
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.

Pre Registration is required for Saturday’s camp, and space is limited. For more information and to reserve space, fill out our registration form, contact Kathleen Bradley by calling (707) 263-6222, or email kbradley@lakecountyhospice.org
