LAKEPORT, Calif. – Hospice Services of Lake County recognizes and addresses the unique ways children grieve and heal from a loss of a loved one.

Families with children age 5 years and older that have experienced the death of a loved one are invited to participate in a one-day free bereavement camp on Saturday, Oct. 14, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., in Lakeport.

Camp activities are designed for healing in a fun and positive environment with horse and pet therapy; music by David Neft, “the piano man”; and a family art project.

Most of us will experience the life-altering experience of losing a loved one – the death of a best friend, a parent, son or daughter. These losses can be even more traumatic to children and youth.

These are powerful life-changing events that, if not dealt with effectively, can cycle into a landslide of life-altering events.

Wings of Hope bereavement camps are offered periodically throughout the year and are facilitated by bereavement counselors and trained volunteers.

Preregistration is required. For more information and to reserve space, contact Jo Moore, 707-263-6270, Extension 137, or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
