Experiencing a loss often brings up powerful and complicated emotions. To help children ages 5-14 deal with the unique feelings following a loss or life change, the Girl Scouts of NE Kansas & NW Missouri and Saint Luke’s Home Care and Hospice are offering a special day camp at Camp Prairie Schooner.
​

The camp is designed for kids who’ve experienced a loss or change, such as a death of a loved one, a divorce in the family, moving, the death of a pet, losing a home, a serious illness in the family or changing schools. Express Yourself Camp offers:
  • All-day activities to promote healthy coping skills.
  • A safe environment for youth to express emotions associated with loss.
  • Professionally trained staff including grief counselors and volunteers.
  • Lunch and snacks provided.

​Small group activities include music therapy, adventure programming, arts and crafts, skits and a closing ceremony. Campers will learn different ways to express their feelings of loss and to remember a loved one or a life change in a celebratory way.  

Participants: Children (girls and boys) ages 5-14 years old, GS Membership not required

Caregiver Information & Trauma Smart Resource Night - Sunday June 11th - 5:00-6:30pm @ Camp Prairie Schooner
​
This night will be to inform caregivers of registered campers about the camp schedule.  Caregivers can also drop off any necessary items like medications or printed health forms. 

Trauma Smart® Trainer and Consultants with Crittenton Children’s Center an entity of Saint Luke’s Health System, will be there to facilitate an interactive caregiver education workshop. Caregivers will learn about how each part of the brain functions and responds; along with the importance of managing our own emotional states through the use of self-care.

There will also be resources available for caregivers to continue to support their children along their grief journey. If you would like to learn more about Trauma Smart® please visit the website at www.traumasmart.org.
