Camp Celebrate Hope is for children ages 6-14 who have experienced the death of a family member or a significant person in their lives. At Camp Celebrate Hope, participants learn about their grief and are encouraged to speak openly about issues of death and their grieving experience within a group of children their own age. Children learn new skills to help them build confidence and hope for the future. Together they create friendships and support that allow them to identify and express their feelings in a safe and caring environment. They also get the chance to participate in fun and organized activities.
Camp Celebrate Hope is available to children in Greenwood, Laurens, Edgefield, Abbeville, McCormick, Newberry, and Saluda counties. The staff and volunteers at Camp Celebrate Hope are specially trained to work with grieving children and youth. Camp staff includes social workers, nurses, chaplain, and volunteers from the community. For more information or to make a referral, please call Care of the Piedmont at 864-227-9393.
