Healing Through Nature Courage and Connection
Bon Secours- KIDZ’NGRIEF is a bereavement support program designed for children who have experienced the death of an important person in their lives. There are no restrictions regarding the relationship to the deceased or the amount of time that has passed since the loss. Our program provides a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment where children can express and process their grief through developmentally appropriate methods.
For over 20 years, the program has held Mikey’s Camp for grieving children. With the support of Portsmouth United, we will hold 3 evening camps to provide children in Portsmouth with a safe, supportive space to process their grief alongside peers who truly understand. Campers will embark on a journey of healing through nature, courage, and connection!
Our campers will face challenges head-on—literally—by tackling obstacle courses and soaring through the treetops on ziplines at the Adventure Park in Virginia Beach for Glow Night. This experience will create a powerful atmosphere of friendship and resilience.
At KIDZ\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'NGRIEF, we believe no child should grieve alone. Together, we can support healing, hope, and growth.
