LSF Offers
Camps to Help Children Cope with Oil Spill
16 July 2010
The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill is now affecting Florida’s Gulf Coast,
particularly in the Panhandle area. Many adults and children are showing
signs of distress..jpg)
To help children deal with their emotions concerning the oil spill, Lutheran
Services Florida, in partnership with the Florida Department of Children and
Families and other local sponsors, will provide a therapeutic camp
experience.
Camp Beyond the Horizon will address the educational and emotional needs of
children affected by the disaster.
Camp Beyond the Horizon is specifically designed for children in grades
kindergarten through six. The camp allows children to process their
experiences and their grief in a safe, supportive, caring atmosphere that
also offers fun and recreation.
The week-long camps will be held in churches and community centers in the
affected areas.
There is no cost to families for children to participate.
The first four camps are scheduled as follows:
July 26-30: Grace Lutheran Church, Pensacola
July 26-30: St. Paul Lutheran Church, Pensacola
Aug. 2-6: Grace Lutheran Church, Pensacola
Aug. 16-20: St. Luke Methodist Church, Pensacola
Other camps will be scheduled based on need. Check back on this website for
updates.
Volunteer and staff opportunities are also available at each camp site.
