Camp Healing Hearts

Camp Healing Hearts is a day camp program for youth provided by The Hospice Grief Center. Camp Healing Hearts provides creative healing activities and an opportunity to connect with other children who have experienced a loss. Campers include children related to Hospice patients that have died, as well as any child in our community that has experienced the death of someone they cared about. Some children have experienced loss related to illness, while other children have experienced traumatic losses. We also understand that as a child develops they may start to process past losses differently, and Camp may be a way to help them with this.

Children entering grades one through six who have experienced the death of a loved one and/or special person are eligible to participate. Our Camp Healing Hearts program has been operational for over 19 years and is funded by grants and community support allowing us to provide our day camp program for a small registration fee ($35 per child, $60 maximum per family). 

Our 2022 Camp Healing Hearts will be held in person from August 22-25, 2022 at the YMCA Camp Evergreen in Manlius, NY. Should it be determined that it is unsafe to hold in-person, we will pivot to our Virtual Camp Program during the same dates.
