Love builds bridges where there are none
Prairie Mountain Health and Southern Health-Santé Sud are organizing the 12th annual Camp Bridges weekend, a weekend camp for bereaved children and teens. Camp Bridges will be held at Camp Wannakumbac near Clear Lake, MB on May 26, May 27 and May 28, 2017.
The goal of Camp Bridges is to support children and teens with their grief and bereavement. This is achieved through activities designed to help share grief and honor memories in a caring community environment.
The Camp will provide a safe, supportive and fun environment where grieving children and teens learn that they are not alone in their grief and are free to share their thoughts and feelings with peers who are going through a similar experience. This camp is intended to complement existing bereavement services for children and teens by providing a weekend of “caring and sharing”.
Donations are being accepted to cover the cost of camp rental, meals, and activities, so that campers may attend at no cost. Anyone wishing to make a donation to Camp Bridges or seeking more information about the camp may contact their regional Palliative Care representative.
Camp Bridges 2016 was held last year at Pembina Valley Bible Camp and hosted 42 children and teens between the ages of 7 and 17. Camper Applications can be obtained from your regional Palliative Care representative and are requested by May 5, 2017.
