Camp Solace - Camp For Grieving Children and Teens

camp-solace-2Camp Solace is a grief camp for children and teens who have experienced the death of a loved one.  The camp, located on the beautiful east shore of Lake Tahoe, encourages participants in the grieving process through sharing of memories, frustrations, anger, sadness, etc.

The camp features activities aimed at building trust and teamwork. Campers spend much of their time just being kids - swimming, kayaking, playing volleyball, making crafts and participating in team skits.

In addition to typical camping activities, Camp Solace attendees will spend time writing in journals and remembering those loved ones who they’d lost. The campers will have opportunities to create art that symbolizes a memory of their lost loved one.

During these times, the children have the opportunity to share something about their loved one such as a poem or memory.  Interested in volunteering for this camp as a counselor? Please fill out this form and return it to The Solace Tree.

This year’s camp is September 11 - 13, 2009, at Camp Galilee in Glenbrook, Lake Tahoe.  If you are interested in signing up for this camp, please click here:
