Camp Sunrise seeks Sisters families

The fifth annual Camp Sunrise will be held June 20-22 at the United Methodist Camp located at Suttle Lake. The three-day, two-night camp is under the direction of a professional staff and is an emotionally safe and supportive environment in which experiences and feelings can be shared.

Structured games, music, art, stories and other therapies teach bereaved campers about grief and loss and how to understand their feelings. There are specially designed sessions for parents, which provide skills to strengthen their ability to be an effective support system for their children.

The camp is free for children ages 7-14 in the Tri-County area that have had a recent loss. Camp Sunrise involves over 40 volunteers and this year Hospice of Redmond, Sisters & Grant County and Hospice of Bend-La Pine are sponsoring the camp.

If you know of a family with children ages 7-14 that has suffered a loss in the last 18 months and could benefit from this program contact Hospice of Redmond, Sisters at 548-7483.
