Balloon lift-off ends Hospice bereavement camp

Hospice’s Camp 4 Season is a free annual two-day grief camp open to children in Chenango County who have experienced the death of a significant loved one. Campers discussed their losses, learned coping strategies, and met other kids who are grieving. At the close of Camp 4 Seasons recently, campers wrote letters to their deceased loved ones, attached them to balloons, and released the balloons to carry the letters to their loved ones. For more information about Camp 4 Seasons or Hospice’s on-going grief support, call Maureen Casey-Bryant at 334-3556.
