Camp Aloha: A Camp for Grieving Children

Hospice Savannah's Full Circle Grief and Loss counselors and volunteers facilitate a weekend overnight camp for any Coastal Empire child aged 6-17 who has experienced the death of a loved one within the last 24 months. These caring professionals provide therapeutic activities to teach the children they are not alone in their grief experience. Campers enjoy swimming, sports, games, group therapy sessions, campfires, singing, playing and making new friends who have also experienced loss. Camp Aloha runs from the evening of Friday, May 1 through lunchtime on Sunday, May 3, 2019. Transportation is provided to and from New Ebenezer in Rincon, and camp costs are underwritten by community donations and a generous sponsorship from Southern Motors. There is a nominal $25 registration fee which can be waived if a scholarship is needed.
