Grief Support
Camp DragonflyCamp Dragonfly is a free summer-weekend bereavement camp for children ages 6-12. On the surface, it’s much like any other camp. Kids and their buddies sleep in enclosed cabins on bunks. They play games, make crafts, swim, go boating and gather around the evening campfire. But at this camp each child is paired with an adult "big buddy," a specially trained volunteer who provides companionship, support and supervision throughout the weekend. Medical staff is on site throughout the weekend.
Through this combination of play and camaraderie, Camp Dragonfly leads children through loss, grief and recovery.
The Compassionate FriendsThe mission of The Compassionate Friends is to assist families toward the positive resolution of grief following the death of a child of any age and to provide information to help others be supportive.

Enjoy!
