Bereavement camp for children accepting applications

Jan 24, 2012

Registrations are being accepted for the Southcoast Visiting Nurse Association's "Camp Angel Wings," a bereavement camp for children and teens.

Camp Angel Wings is held annually in July and is a two-day experience for children ages 6 through 17 who are grieving the death of someone close to them. The camp features interactive activities including music, swimming, arts and crafts, and activities that memorialized loved ones.

All of the activities are designed to reduce the sense of isolation while improving self-esteem for children and teens who share like-experiences in grief.

The camp will be held on July 28 and 29 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Cathedral Camp for Boys & Girls, 167 Middleboro Road in East Freetown.

To register or for more information, call 508-973-3219 or visit www.southcoast.org/vna/camp.html.
