LAKEPORT, Calif. – Hospice Services of Lake County staff and volunteers compassionately respond to the unique ways children grieve and heal from the loss of a loved one with a variety of services including the free annual Wings of Hope three-day camp for families with children, ages 5 years and older that have experienced the death of a loved one.

Interested families are invited to learn more about attending the next camp scheduled for Friday, Sept. 11, through Sunday, Sept. 13, at a beautiful local resort.

Daily activities at camp are designed for healing from loss and grief in a fun and positive environment with dog therapy, equine therapy, music, art, swimming and nature walks.

These activities are designed to assist participants in learning new coping skills, building opportunities to develop support systems and creating positive experiences.

Special planning is taking place to ensure that camp participants enjoy and receive benefits of activities while following necessary safe practices, incorporating precautions as required by Center for Disease Control and the Lake County Public Health Services to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Preregistration is required. Camp is free for participating families. A $25 deposit will be charged to reserve space.
