Camp Connect Brings Grief Support Day Camp to Mobile County Children Nov. 6
Camp Connect's Nov. 6 day camp at the Mobile Carnival Museum helps grieving children ages 6-17 understand loss and build coping tools.
Children in Mobile County who are grieving a loss — or facing the illness of a loved one — will have a place designed just for them when Camp Connect holds its next event on Nov. 6.
Camp Connect is a day camp built to help children who have suffered a loss or who have a terminally ill family member. Through the program, children learn how to understand their grief and pick up practical tools for coping with it, all in a setting alongside peers facing similar struggles.
The Nov. 6 session runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Mobile Carnival Museum at 355 Government St. It is open to children ages 6 to 17, and registration is required in advance.
Organizers note masks are required to attend. Families interested in registering can sign up through Camp Connect’s website.
