Feature Story
Camp Lighthouse Celebrates Its Second Year
Sentara Home Care services Hospice program is organizing its second annual Camp lighthouse, a bereavement camp for children who have lost a loved one. The camp provides hope and help to grieving children and offers their parents tools to cope with their loss.
This year Camp Lighthouse will be held April 21 and 22 at the Triple-R Ranch in Chesapeake. The camp is available for children ages 6 to 16 who have experienced the death of a family member or loved one within the past two years.
Few things in life are more difficult than when a child loses a parent, close friend or relative. Not only does the remaining parent or family member have to deal with his or her own grief, but also with their child’s grief. And for some people, this is a big challenge to face alone.
The camp provides counseling sessions that can be intense, but they are balanced with fun activities. Sentara Hospice staff, a team of social workers, nurses, and more than 50 volunteers run the two-day camp. Last year’s camp was very successful, and the staff looks forward to this year’s event.
Rhonda Chetney, one of the camp coordinators, believes Camp Lighthouse is “the best thing we’ve ever done. We hope that the children leave with a sense of friendship, hope, and encouragement,” says Rhonda.
Camp Lighthouse charges a small fee per child ($15) and the remaining cost of running the camp is covered by donations from generous individuals, corporations, and community organizations. If you would like to make a contribution to Camp Lighthouse or know anyone who can
benefit, please call Sentara Home Care Services at (757) 549-7755.
