About Camp Braveheart

Camp Braveheart is a Christ-centered camp designed to meet the unique spiritual and emotional needs of youth who are walking the journey of grief after the death of someone they dearly love.

By understanding the grief process, the campers learn how to identify their feelings and how to express them in healthy ways.

The feeling of being all alone and no one understanding is defused when, not only do they realize God’s presence in their lives, but they are with others in similar circumstances. Being fearful, anxious, angry, exhausted, lonely and paralyzed by guilt are overwhelming, but normal emotions of grief.

Goals of Camp

The goal of camp is to provide strategies to create an environment for healing and adjustment by:

Knowing they are not alone by building support from others walking the same journey;
Understanding the grief process;
Establishing a vocabulary to express their emotions;
Learning healthy coping skills to manage this difficult season in their life; and,
Providing a safe place to express their grief in order to bring healing into their lives and adjust to their new normal.
