CAMP CHIMAQUA
May 17-19, 2024
Gretna Glen Camp & Retreat Center, Lebanon
Camp Chimaqua is an overnight weekend camp for grieving children (ages 6-12). Through group and individual activities, children learn to express their feelings and share memories of their loved ones. A trained adult buddy is paired with each child for companionship, support and supervision throughout the weekend.
Registration is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Children meet with a counselor to determine if camp will best meet their needs. Thanks to the community, registration is only $25 per child, and financial assistance is available. For more information or to request an application, call the Pathways Center at (717) 391-2413. Applications must be received by April 19.
Register early and save the date!!!
With the holidays coming up, some students and families could use extra support. Wellspan has two different after-school programs to help further support students that may be having difficulty with following directions, social skills, impulse control, and emotional regulation.
Making a referral to Wellspan's ABA social skills group or Wellspan's clinical therapeutic program can easily be done by either emailing ekilleen@wellspan.org or by calling 717-676-7641.
Sign up is open!
Please see November/December Holiday Support for more information. Families are asked to choose one resource for their family, if needed.
