NEW Teen Retreat dates added

July 24-25, 2010

A fun, supportive, and healing overnight backpacking trip for high-school students grieving the death of a family member or loved one. We will gather at Greenough Park and backpack over the North Hills to the Moon-Randolph Homestead where we will set up camp. Activities will provide opportunities to honor and commemorate the deceased; explore grief through creative expression; build leadership skills; and to hike, play, and wander in the splendor of summer.
