DoveTales is designed for children ages 6-13 who are coping with the death of a loved one.  DoveTales is an education, nurturing, and safe place for children to share their stories and to meet others who “get it”. Campers will have the opportunity to learn effective and practical skills for coping with their grief.  Their is no cost to attend this annual event.  Campers attend one day camp and then are invited to participate in future camp reunion events.

Group activities include sharing stories, creating lots of crafts, playing games, singing songs, enjoying a special hayride and having fun! All meals are included. Parents or guardians are invited to attend a special family dinner at 5 PM and meet the other families, learn about camp activities and honor their loved ones.

To request a camper application, please contact: Hospice of Washington County’s Bereavement Department at 301-791-6360, email Maria Reed at mdreed@hospiceofwc.org OR visit the Hospice website and apply under the camp event.
