WALTON – Helios Care is inviting children and teens who have experienced the death of a loved one to Camp Forget-Me-Not, happening on Thursday, July 24, at Townsend Elementary School in Walton.
This one-day camp is completely free for children and teens ages 6-18 living in Otsego, Delaware, or Schoharie Counties. At Camp Forget-Me-Not, kids will make new friends, express their feelings in a safe and supportive environment, play games, do fun crafts, and learn beneficial ways to cope with grief, under the guidance of Helios Care’s grief support team.
Camp will begin on Thursday, July 24th at 9am. Lunch will be provided. A Parent & Guardian Support Group will be held at 3:00pm, where grown-ups can meet the Helios Care staff and find support of their own through open discussion.
You do not need to be connected to Helios Care or have used hospice services to attend. There is no cost to families, but registration is required. Fill out the interest form online to reserve your child’s spot:
