HERMANN SONS LIFE CAMP GRIEF SUPPORT SESSION

As a life insurance organization that cares about the financial protection of families when life is lost, we also care about the deeper emotional strain and supporting individuals through grief. For children, losing someone close, especially a sibling or a parent, can be traumatic.

The Grief Support Camp at Hermann Sons Life was created in 2017 to help children on their healing journey.

The Grief Support Camp is a special half-week session held each summer and is focused exclusively on children ages 8-17 who are grieving the loss of a loved one. During the session, the campers will work with licensed therapists in groups and individually.

The children get to experience all the fun of summer camp with other children who have suffered a similar loss. They participate in traditional camp activities like swimming and making s’mores around a campfire.

Children attend the session free of charge. Donations from lodges and individuals as well as fundraisers make the session possible.
