Venango VNA Foundation Camp Explore

Join us for a day camp and explore your feelings on grief. Open to any child ages 6-17 who have lost a loved one.

A fun day of activities and reinforcement of healthy coping with grief and loss.

Please call Jenn Horn @ (814) 437-0341 for more information or to obtain application!

This camp is held each June at Seneca Hills Bible & Retreat Center.

The campers will have an opportunity to learn more about grief, learn to grow beyond their losses, and participate in many group activities. Each camper will be assigned to a small group of campers of similar ages, along with adult volunteer counselors in each group who will be responsible for them.

Please call the VNA office at 814-432-6555 for any questions and for a camper application.

“It helps to know how to deal with (loss). Everyone else is going through the same things.” – Youth Camper

Hope for the Holidays will provide a therapeutic, fun setting where children can talk openly and share their feelings with others who have had similar experiences. At the same time, they will benefit from guidance and support from our trained bereavement volunteers. Each camper will be assigned to a small group of campers of similar ages, along with adult volunteer counselors in each group who will be responsible for them. Activities will focus on ways to cope with the upcoming holidays with workshops on grief and holiday crafts. The day will conclude with a holiday meal.
