Camp Cope is our 16-week program that meets every other week. Developed by Adam's Place, Las Vegas, NV, the goals of Camp Cope are to make connections, build resiliency, and foster healthy coping skills. Trained facilitators lead peer groups and encourage children and teens to express the many feelings that are a part of the grieving process.
All activities, selected by a team of Child Life Specialists, focus on healthy coping skills and ways to communicate emotions and follow a theme with age-appropriate objectives, such as recreation, art, expression, and communication.
Peer groups provide a safe, small, structured environment for kids who have experienced loss, in order to decrease isolation, increase self-confidence, and build resiliency, as well as encourage peer interaction, connections, and support.
