Grief/Loss
Grief/Loss
Camp MAGIK provides a safe, nurturing environment where children can express their grief over the death of a loved one and begin the healing process. Campers not only get counseling from professionals but also experience real healing from being around other kids who have faced similar losses. And because it’s a camp, kids also get to be kids and participate in typical camp activities like canoeing, ropes courses, hiking, and more! Camp MAGIK is held three times a year and there’s no charge for kids to attend.
The mission of Eluna is to support children and families impacted by grief or addiction. Our innovative resources and programs address the critical needs of children experiencing powerful, overwhelming and often confusing emotions associated with the death of someone close to them or substance abuse in their family. No child should have to face these struggles alone, and our unique programs bring kids together to ease their pain and provide the tools to help restore hope.
