Camp Pathways Applications Now Being Accepted: Ohio’s Hospice Offering Support to Grieving Children and Teens June 21
The Ohio’s Hospice Pathways of Hope Grief Counseling Center is offering Camp Pathways, a unique experience for children and teens ages 7-17 who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling, or significant loved one and are actively grieving. Camp Pathways will be held June 21, 2024, at Camp Joy Outdoor Education Center in Warren County.
The camp is designed for children and teens to express their feelings of grief in a safe and fun environment. Professional grief counselors and trained volunteers will lead the activities. Each camper will be paired with an adult buddy to support them through their grief while at camp.
In addition to learning how to deal with their grief, the children and teen campers will swim, fish, and canoe. They also will participate in a high-ropes course, field games, climbing wall, and challenge hike. Transportation to and from camp will be provided on June 21 at the Ohio’s Hospice of Dayton campus (324 Wilmington Ave., Dayton, OH 45420).
Camp Pathways is part of the programming available at Ohio’s Hospice through the Pathways of Hope Grief Counseling Center. Bereavement counseling professionals provide support and education with expertise in serving grieving children, adolescents and adults.
