Grande Prairie and District Grief Support Association
Camp Heal-A-Heart
Our signature program that provides a safe space for children and youth Ages 5yrs- 15yrs old who are experiencing grief and loss through death, divorce, separation or fostering.
Camp Heal-A-Heart is more than a camp, it is a place where children discover they are not alone in their grief journey. It is where stories are shared, friendships are formed, and healing begins. Through therapeutic and recreational components and meaningful connections with peers who understand their experience. Children are able to process their emotions in healthy ways while rebuilding confidence, resilience, and joy.
