About Camp Courage
Camp Courage is a week-long camp for children who have suffered similar losses of a loved one through death, divorce, separation, incarceration or deployment. Children participate in recreational activities that promote self-esteem, encourage self-healing, and provide an outlet for unexpressed emotions. In addition, with the help of specially trained counselors, campers develop healthy coping skills as a result of the variety of grief exercises offered, which ultimately help build self confidence, trust, and an understanding of the grief process.
Applications will be accepted March 1, 2012, through April 20, 2012. Click here to download an application. Applications must be printed and mailed to 1682 Hickory, Abilene, Texas 79601. If you need an application mailed to you or have additional needs or questions, email acolley@ehendrick.org or call 325.670.6951.
