A grief camp for children.
In grad school I took a class on death and dying. I enjoyed the work of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross so much that I continued reading her work for pleasure. She, the mother of the Hospice Foundation, profoundly and wisely contributed to quality end of life care, and grief care. Although, I never got to meet her, she has helped me tremendously in my grief. I am a better person, mother, wife, teacher because of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross.

Camp Good Mourning is held at Park River Bible Camp and allows for an attendance of 50 children and teens. The campers partake in activities including low adventure course, canoeing, wall climbing, recreation time, art and crafts, high ropes and campfires. Added to these activities are small group discussions, where children are encouraged to open up about their loss, how it makes them feel and how to move forward.
