Rainbow Trails Camp

Rainbow Trails Camp is a free program for children ages 6-16 who are coping with the recent loss of a loved one. Rainbow Trails provides:

• An understanding of the grief process
• Skills to cope with grief and loss
• An opportunity to memorialize and say good-bye to a loved one

“People of all ages experience feelings of grief and loss. We created the Rainbow Trails Camp because we want to have a special place for children to interact with others who understand.”
Samira K. Beckwith
Hope President and CEO

• Camp Counselors
  Our loving counselors are Hope professionals, school counselors, teachers and volunteers who have completed a special Rainbow Trails education series.
• Activities
  The camp itinerary is filled with creative, stress-reducing activities including crafts, swimming and singing. While Rainbow Trails may have a serious purpose, campers will have plenty of fun.
