Our camp program offers opportunities through out the year for all ages.
Spring
Fernside's Teen Retreat
(for ages 13 - 18)
The Teen Retreat experience incorporates expressive arts and adventures in an outdoor setting. Teens will participate in small groups promoting the safe expression of feelings. The highlight for many of the teens is the high ropes course.
Summer
Fernside's Summer Day Camp
(for ages 3 - 8)
Day Camp incorporates expressive arts and time outdoors. Children are given the opportunity to participate in activities, both in small and large groups, to help them explore their feelings about the loss. A camper favorite is a visit from some of our therapy animal friends.
Fernside's Summer Camp
(for ages 7 - 12)
Summer Camp incorporates expressive arts and outdoor adventures. During the camp, children are given the opportunity to work in a small group environment with other grieving children to share their stories and process their loss. Campers will also participate in traditional camp activities including archery, swimming and hiking.
Fall & Winter
