Grief is held at St. Gabriel’s Spiritual Retreat for Youth on Shelter Island, and busing to the facility is provided. Every staff member at the camp, including social workers, therapists and volunteers, has hospice training, and camp coordinator Sarah Zimmerman says the camp strives to teach children “a model of grief they can use for their whole life.” The 2008 session will run from July 21 through July 25.
