"Welcome to Camp"
When a child or teen experiences the death of a significant person in their life, they need help to deal with the strong emotions of grief.
Columbia Montour Home Hospice has a mission to facilitate the grieving process for children and teens in a safe and fun-filled environment.
The bereavement camps currently offered by Columbia Montour Home Hospice are Camp Courage and Little Brave Hearts. The mission of the Bereavement Camps is to facilitate the grieving process of children and teens who have suffered the death of a significant person while providing a safe and fun-filled weekend or day camp experience. The Bereavement Camps are offered free of charge to all participants.
