Barton hosts free grief camp

Local children are invited to participate in the annual Camp Sunrise, a children’s bereavement camp for ages 7 to 14, who have experienced the death of a loved one. The overnight grief camp takes place from Aug. 13 to 15 at Galilee Camp and Retreat Center in Glenbrook, Nev.

Under the guidance of professional bereavement staff and volunteers, campers can meet with other children who have experienced similar losses and participate in activities involving art, music and recreation. The children also attend daily support groups. All activities, including lodging and meals, come at no cost to campers.

Space is limited; applications must be returned by July 16, which are available online. Camp Sunrise is sponsored by Barton Home Health and Hospice and the Barton Foundation. | (530) 543-5581, bartonhealth.org/campsunrise
