Children experience loss differently than adults. Realizing this, in 1995 Hospice by the Sea launched Camp Good Grief, a weekend bereavement camp for boys and girls ages 6-13.

The camp takes place twice a year, in the spring and fall. Located in a beautiful wooded setting in Palm Beach County, it pairs fun and therapeutic activities, from swimming and volleyball, to journaling, music therapy, and art projects. Through these activities, and under the gentle guidance of volunteer and professional staff, children talk about their grief, share their feelings, and find healthy ways to cope with their loss.

Camp Good Grief is free and is open to all children in our community. To learn more, or to register a child, please call our bereavement department at (561) 416-5059.

Registration for our next Camp Good Grief, October 22 - 24, is now available. 

Please send all completed forms to:
