The last year summer camp for the children who have lost their close persons is over and we are slowly getting ready for the next one. It will take place in 2 sessions – 20 - 25 July and 27 July - 1 August respectively, under the topic “Let´s change the world within 7 days“.
So far we have booked a cottage in Oravský Podzámok for approximately 80 children and 12 camp monitors. We are looking for the summer camp monitors among the PLAMIENOK staff and volunteers.
Now we are preparing promotional material which will be distributed to the families in the care of PLAMIENOK, schools, children counselling centres, as well as published on social networks and other media.
Among other activities which are ahead we can mention a preparatory meeting which is going to be held in May. The team consisted of psychologists, social workers and volunteers will discuss the programme and issues related to the particular activities.
During the last summer camp we witnessed a lot of great experiences, fun, enjoyed a great deal of affinity and support and we do hope to experience the same great time, if not even greater, also this year. Also thanks to you, our supporters, we can provide the children who have experienced a loss of their sibling or parent, with a safe space for sharing grief and the opportunity to meet new friends with similar experience. Through experiences, games, trips and therapeutic activities they can enjoy new emotions, express their feelings and find sources how to cope with them.
