Good Samaritan Hospice to Host Childrens Camp

Cabot, PA – In an effort to help children who have lost a loved one understand the grieving process, Good Samaritan Hospice (GSH), a mission of Concordia Lutheran Ministries, will host an overnight summer bereavement camp (Camp Good Sam) from Aug. 14 – 16 at YMCA Camp Kon-O-Kwee near Zelienople.

Camp Good Sam is designed for children ages 6 – 18 years old. Interested campers must complete a camp application and participate in a brief interview before attending. Thanks to community support, grants, and organizational sponsorships, the minimal cost for Camp Good Sam is only $15 per family, which last year helped 13 kids better understand the grief process, as well as their own feelings.

The curriculum for the camp includes group sessions, one-on-one interaction, crafts, and activities. Campers are encouraged to work through grief at their own pace, while GSH counselors foster an environment of sharing and acceptance.
