Southcoast Visiting Nurse Association, known in the community as Southcoast VNA, will host its 13th annual bereavement camp, Camp Angel Wings, in July. This is a meaningful, fun-filled, two-day camp experience for children and teens, ages 6 through 15, who are grieving the loss of a loved one. The camp will be held on July 16 and 17 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Camp Welch in Assonet.
Campers will participate in various interactive activities including music, swimming and arts and crafts, as a positive way to help share their loss and memorialize loved ones. All activities are designed to reduce feelings of isolation and improve the self-esteem of children and teens who share like experiences in grief.
Camp Angel Wings is free for all campers and registration is required. Applications to attend Camp Angel Wings are now being accepted, and should be completed as soon as possible, or no later than June 1, as space is limited and a waiting list is expected.
To obtain an application or for general questions, contact the Camp Angel Wings coordinator by phone at 508-973-3426 or by emailing campangelwings@southcoast.org.
