Children's Two-Day Grief Camp - Volunteers Needed!

Seasons Hospice Foundation and Accentcare Hospice will be hosting Camp Kangaroo, a special bereavement camp for children ages 5-17 who have lost a loved one. The camp will be held at The Arc Nature Coast Education Center in Spring Hill, FL October 17th-18th from 8:30 am - 4:00 pm.

Camp Kangaroo is a bereavement camp experience offered free of charge to children in the community who have suffered the death of a loved one. Participants receive grief education and emotional support combined with fun camp activities. The only national bereavement camp of its kind, this program is psychotherapy and creative arts therapy based. Led by dedicated professionals and trained volunteers from AccentCare Hospice, formerly Seasons Hospice & Palliative Care, Camp Kangaroo helps children feel less alone in their grief, provides them with a supportive environment to express their emotions, and helps them learn effective coping strategies. It gives an opportunity for children to find new meaning following the loss of their loved ones. Camp Kangaroo is a source of healing and fun for the children who need it most.

We need volunteers to support the AccentCare professional counselors by assisting with setting up, arts and crafts, helping with meals and snacks, assisting campers, photography, etc.
