Camp Hands of Hope--Helping Cope with Loss

Camp Hands of Hope is a weekend-long bereavement camp for youth and their loved ones who have experienced the loss of a loved one in the past three years. The next camp session will take place February 21-23 at Ripley's Aquarium in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This camp is hosted by the Hospice & Palliative Care Foundation.

The online application process will open on January 17th is now open online at www.camphandsofhope.org. and remain open until spaces filled. Spaces are available on a first come first serve basis and will fill up fast.

Camp is open to youth ages 5-18 and their caregivers who have experienced the loss of a loved one in the past three years (must have at least one adult attend with the camper).

This is an all expense paid weekend for the family (including lodging and meals). Families are asked to pay a $50 administrative fee (per family) to help offset the administrative time of processing applications, HOWEVER, if that fee is a financial hardship, families can apply for a application fee waiver after their applications have been accepted and confirmed.
