Camp Safe Haven will return to Cuscowilla Nature and Retreat Center on Saturday, April 5, to offer a grief support day camp for children and their families.
The free event, hosted by Haven Hospice, will run from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 210 SE 134th Ave. in Micanopy.
The camp is designed for children and youth ages 5-18 who have experienced the loss of a loved one. Camp Safe Haven provides therapeutic activities that help participants develop coping skills to process their emotions.
Activities include nature walks, grief art projects, drumming circles, therapeutic music and dance, a memorial ceremony and more.
Camp Safe Haven uses a three-step approach: encouraging participants to acknowledge their emotions, empowering them to manage their grief, and enlightening them to understand that grieving is a natural process. A caregiver must accompany all participants.
