Camp Hope

presented by Hospice Satilla

What is “Camp Hope”? Camp Hope is a free grief camp for children ages 5-19 years old that have experienced a signifi-
cant loss through the death of someone close to them. At Hospice Satilla we believe that “Camp Hope” is a very worth-
while experience that gives these children the opportunity to process the grief they are experiencing in a safe and fun
environment. The camp was sponsored by generous contributions from various businesses in the community. This year the
camp was held on Saturday November 12, 2016 at the GA Lions Camp for the Blind and included many fun activities
which were therapeutic in design. Several times during the camp, the children attended small group sessions conducted
by professional counselors who helped them deal with their loss. At the conclusion of a full day of activities, positive com-
ments were expressed throughout the evening on how meaningful and memorable the event was to the participants. For
