Children entering grades 2 through 11 in September 2018, who are adjusting to the death of a loved one, are invited to a free day camp this summer. Camp Heartstrings/Camp Dreams will run from Wednesday, July 18 to Friday, July 20 from 1 to 5:30 p.m. daily on the campus of St. John Fisher College. Professionally trained bereavement social workers, interns and volunteers will work with the children to promote understanding, acceptance, hope and healing through a comprehensive program of activities such as crafts, yoga, music, pet therapy, games and summer fun. Through this program, children will develop coping skills for handling and expressing grief, feel safe while expressing their grief, and realize other children struggle with the same emotions.
Camp Heartstrings/Camp Dreams is presented by UR Medicine Home Care, Dreams from Drake, Pittsford Youth Services and St. John Fisher College. There is no charge to attend, but space is limited to the first 40 registrants.
