The Bertolon Center for Grief & Healing, a program of Hospice of the North Shore, has developed a weekend day camp to support children and their families who have experienced the death of someone close to them. The camp offers a combination of child focused activities including arts and crafts, water activities and games. The camp also offers relaxation activities and workshops for adults. Parents or adult caregivers of campers will receive a comprehensive informational packet with suggested readings, common grief reactions of children, ideas on communicating more effectively and tips for helping children cope with grief. The entire family will have fun while learning new coping skills.
Held on the scenic and historic campus of the Glen Urquhart School in Beverly Farms, MA,
Camp Stepping Stones is designed to provide the whole family with opportunities to commemorate and remember loved ones who have died.
While Camp Stepping Stones is free of charge after the nominal registration fee, space is limited and advance registration is required.
