Camp Courageous

 There are now five ways to benefit from Camp Courageous...Camp Courageous Families, Camp Courageous Summer, Camp Courageous Teens, Camp Courageous Parents and Camp Courageous Youth!

 Camp Courageous is a special bereavement retreat that brings together the fun of a recreational camp with grief support for children and families. Campers spend a weekend of fun & healing with others who have experienced the death of a loved one.

Camp counselors are Hope Hospice staff, as well as specially trained volunteers from our community who have contributed their time year after year.

Meals and lodging facilities (if an overnight camp) are provided.
