CAMP LIGHTHEART FOR CHILDREN OF BREAST CANCER SURVIVORS

This unique program from Breast Cancer Options is a free sleep-away camp for children of breast cancer survivors or children who have lost their mother to the disease. It is one of few services for children in this situation.

Children don’t talk about their fears and parents tell us that often they act out because they are afraid of losing the parent they love and depend on. Camp provides a support group for them and gives them a chance to meet others who have had similar experiences. Their staff is headed by professionals who create a safe place to feel comfortable. The children have fun, hike and participate in sharing circles where many verbalize their fears for the first time.

Please email or call them if you have a child who will benefit from attending Camp Lightheart.
