Virtual and In-person Family Camp Workshops
** Registration for the 2024 Grieving Families Healing Together workshops has closed. We are no long accepting registrations. **
Our commitment to provide a healing atmosphere filled with laughter and learning has not altered. The Wendt Center for Loss and Healing is thrilled to present the 5th year of Grieving Families Healing Together, family workshops designed to provide youth and their families with interventions to help them remember and honor loved ones who have died and learn new ways of coping and caring for the self. This year the program will offer in-person and virtual workshops. Participants will explore grief in safe, supportive settings where all family members‘ self-expression is heard, valued, validated, and honored. Participation is free of charge, but registration is necessary:
The Wendt Center strives for a family camp environment that cultivates kindness, compassion, respect, and inclusivity, in an intentional and affirming way. Our family program fosters grief exploration, social skills, courage and understanding in healing and supportive spaces. We invite our family program community to preserve a safe and supportive environment that treats all people with dignity and thoughtful regard.
