Register your child/teen for Camp Phoenix, two sessions offered, providing summer fun and support for grieving children/teens

Applications are being accepted for Camp Phoenix, a summer day-camp
for children and teens, ages 7 to 15, who are grieving the death of
someone close. Two sessions are offered; July 7, 8, and 9 from 9:30
a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at King’s Landing Park in Huntingtown and August 4,
5, and 6 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at East Johns Youth Center in
Lusby.

Camp Phoenix offers the opportunity for kids to share their feelings
of grief and loss in a supportive and understanding environment.
Campers enjoy traditional camp activities, such as swimming, sports,
games and crafts, as well as group discussion and creative activities
led by professional counselors and trained volunteers. Camp is a time
to meet new people and have fun while learning coping skills and
building self esteem.

For information or to register, call Stacey Newman at 410-535-0892 or
email snewman@calverthospice.org. The registration deadline for both
sessions is June 18. Camp Phoenix, like all Calvert Hospice
bereavement programs, is offered free of charge to Calvert County
residents.
