Healing Hearts Family Bereavement Camp
Our annual Healing Hearts Family Bereavement Camp is a free experience for families with children who have lost a loved one to cancer in the past two years. Families participate in both fun and therapeutic activities all while sharing precious memories of their loved ones.
This year’s Healing Hearts camp will take place from June 7 to 9, 2024, in-person, at Memorytown, in Mount Pocono, PA.
