Camp Lean on Me
September 27 @ 8:15 am - September 28 @ 12:30 pm
Excitement is building for the Hospice of South Georgia’s annual children’s grief camp, Camp Lean On Me. The camp will offer children time to work through their loss in a supportive setting. We invite you to refer any child from the ages of 6-17 years who has experienced a close personal loss through the death of a parent, grandparent, sibling, or close relationship. This camp experience is provided at no cost. Camp will be held at the 4-H Club Campground in Lake Park, Georgia over the weekend of September 27th and 28th. (This is a 2-day camp, not overnight.)
•Day One: Saturday, Saturday 27 – 8:15 AM for registration; camp activities begin at 9:00 AM and will conclude at 4:00 PM. Lunch will be provided.
Parents/guardians are highly encouraged to attend their own Saturday morning support/educational group session from 9:30 – 11:30 AM to learn about grief and loss in regard to children and adolescents (adults only please). Light refreshments provided.
•Day Two: Sunday, September 28 – Check in at 9 AM; continue camp activities; Celebration of Life Service/closing ceremony, and a cookout for this year’s campers.

Deadline for camp registration is September 12, 2025.
If you have any children in your school, business, church, or practice who have experienced the loss of an important person through death, please submit their name(s) on the enclosed referral form. After we receive the form, our staff will contact each child’s parent or guardian. Space is limited to the first 25 children referred and confirmed.
Thank you in advance for your interest and support!
