Grief Camp helps local kids

A ceremony of letting off balloons, similar to the Relay for Life Luminaria, is pictured here from last year’s Grief Camp. The camp is designed to help local youths who have lost a loved one.

Eucalyptus Tree, a program of Cedar Valley Hospice, will host a Summer Grief Camp on Tuesday, July 28 from 10 a.m. 3:30 p.m. at the UAW Hall, 2615 Washington St., in Waterloo. This free camp is intended for children ages 6-12 who are grieving the death of a loved one. All campers will receive lunch and a T-shirt.

Children will be able to share their story with other kids and learn about grief through participating in fun activities. Adults are invited to attend a discussion group at 1:30 p.m. and then join the children for a closing ceremony at 2:30 p.m.

Registration is limited to the first 40 campers. To register for this event or for more information, please call 319-272-2002 and ask for Stacy Baranowski. Registration deadline is Thurs., July 2.
