News Room: Hospice Care of St. Elizabeth Offers STARS Camp for Kids
STARS will hold its annual Summer Day Camp on Wednesday, July 7, from 7:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. at Town & Country Sports Complex, 1018 Town Drive in Wilder, KY. The goal of the camp is to provide a one-day, structured program that integrates fun and play with grief work activities. The children have an opportunity to meet others who have experienced a death and learn safe and healthy ways to express their grief.
Dealing with the death of a loved one is never easy, but facing this confusing process as a child can be even more difficult. The STARS program helps kids better understand their loss and find strength through their grief journey.
The STARS Summer Day Camp is limited to 30 elementary, school-aged children. The cost is $25 per child or $50 per family. Cost includes breakfast and lunch. Scholarships are available for children who have a financial need.
Families may register by calling (859) 292-0244 or visit www.starsforchildren.com to receive a registration packet. The registration deadline is extended to June 30.
