The cost is $50 and includes lunch, snacks and supplies. Scholarships are available. Camp is held at the Avery YMCA and Jones Middle School in Plainfield and serves our hospice families as well as families in the community who have experienced the loss of a loved one.
Journey Children’s Camp provides activities that are structured to help children through the natural grieving process, as well as participating in regular camp activities such as arts, crafts, swimming, sports and games. This camp is a safe place where children can bond, share experiences at play and learn grief coping skills.
