Chesapeake Life Center will once again offer several day programs for youth ages 6 to 18 this summer. Through art, play, conversations and support, children and teens will learn new ways to cope with the difficult task of grieving while learning they are not alone. One of the children’s grief day camp for ages 6 to 12 will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. July 31 and 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Aug. 1 on the Hospice of the Chesapeake’s John & Cathy Belcher Campus in Pasadena. Kids will get to know each other on Friday night, then return the next day to explore their grief, learn tools to manage it and have a lot of fun. The cost is $50, and includes snacks, meals and activities. Scholarships are available.
