The camp, part of the Circles of Hope program, offers age-grouped activities such as horse therapy, songwriting, sports, art, and special “Hope Huddles” to help kids share their stories, learn coping strategies, and build connections with peers experiencing similar loss.
Summer can be a particularly challenging time for grieving children, as the school-based support systems many kids rely on are unavailable.
New Hope Center’s camp aims to fill that gap, giving children a safe, supportive environment to express themselves in healthy ways — even outside the school year.
Camp will be held July 23-24, 2026, at Hillside Middle School in Northville. Children ages 4-14 who are grieving the loss of a loved one are welcome to attend.
Registration is free and open through July 8, 2026.
