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 June 8-9 at Camp Tongawood.
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.
• Healthy breakfast, lunch and snacks.
Small group activities include music therapy, a multi-media project, physical activities, 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.
*This event is open to all youth ages 5-14 years old. Youth do not need to be a member of Girl Scouts to attend.
Participants: Children (girls and boys) ages 5-14 years old, GS Membership not required
