Event Description
Experiencing a loss often
brings up powerful and complicated emotions. To help children ages
5-14 deal with the unique feelings following a loss or life
change, the Girl Scouts of NE Kansas & NW Missouri and Saint
Luke’s Home Care and Hospice are offering a special day camp. The
camp is designed for kids who’ve experienced a loss or change,
such as a death of a loved one, a divorce in the family, moving,
the death of a pet, losing a home, a serious illness in the family
or changing schools. Express Yourself Camp offers: All-day
activities to promote healthy coping skills. A safe environment
for youth to express emotions associated with loss. Professionally
trained staff including grief counselors and volunteers. Lunch and
snacks provided.
Small group activities include music therapy, adventure programming, arts and crafts, skits and a closing ceremony. Campers will learn different ways to express their feelings of loss and to remember a loved one or a life change in a celebratory way. Participants: Children (girls and boys) ages 5-14 years old (at time of camp), GS Membership not required. Campers will be dropped off at camp each day by 8am. Registering a sibling?
