Applications are being accepted for Camp Phoenix, a summer day-camp for children and teens, ages 7 to 15, who are grieving the death of someone close. This yearโ€™s session will be July 11, 12, and 13 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Kingโ€™s Landing Park in Huntingtown. Registration is required.

Camp Phoenix offers the opportunity for kids to share their feelings of grief and loss in a supportive and understanding environment. Campers enjoy traditional camp activities, such as swimming, sports, games and crafts, as well as group discussion and creative activities led by professional counselors and trained volunteers. Camp is a time to meet new people and have fun while learning skills to cope with a death and build self-esteem.

For information or to register, call Stacey Newman at 410-535-0892 x#2201 or email snewman@calverthospice.org. Camp Phoenix, like all Calvert Hospice bereavement programs, is offered free of charge to Calvert County residents.
