CAMP PAZ WEEKEND FOR KIDS & GROWN-UPS
October 15-16, 2011 

What does a caregiver say to a child grieving the loss of a loved one? 

Children grieve differently than adults and their grief process is sometimes
misunderstood.  Often children learn best from other children who share their experience.

Stepping Stones of Hope brings children and their families together to do just that …
share their experience. CAMP PAZ is an overnight camp reaching out to grieving children, ages 6-17, and their families to provide a neutral and safe environment where friendships are created and healing can take place.  At CAMPPAZ, children learn they are not alone and realize their feelings are normal. 

 

What:        Camp Paz for Kids and Camp Paz for Grown-Ups

When:        October 15-16, 2011
Location:  Whispering Hope Ranch, Payson, AZ
Cost:        $50.00 per camper.  Transportation not provided.

                       (Partial scholarships are available)
