Pre-Registration Is Now Available for 2022 Camp Pathways Grief Camp for Children and Teens

The Ohio’s Hospice of Dayton Pathways of Hope^SM Grief Counseling Center is offering Camp Pathways in 2022, a unique experience for children and teens, ages 7-17, who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling, or significant grandparent and are actively grieving. Camp Pathways will be held June 24-26, 2022, at Camp Joy Outdoor Education Center in Warren County.

The camp is designed for children and teens to express their feelings of grief in a safe and fun environment. Professional grief counselors and trained volunteers will lead the activities. Each camper will be paired with an adult buddy who will support them through their grief while at camp.

In addition to learning how to deal with their grief, the children and teen campers will swim, fish, and canoe. They also will participate in a high ropes course, field games, climbing wall, and challenge hike. Transportation to and from camp will be provided on Friday, June 24, 2022, at Ohio’s Hospice of Dayton (324 Wilmington Ave., Dayton, OH 45420).

Camp Pathways is part of the programming available at Ohio’s Hospice of Dayton through the Pathways of Hope Grief Counseling Center. Support and education are provided by bereavement counseling professionals with an expertise in serving grieving children, adolescents and adults.
