Helping Children Cope With The Loss of a Loved One

Tuesday, June 14, 2011

Camp Nabe (Nah' bee) is a bereavement camp designed for children 7-17 who have experienced the death of a loved one. The camp is offered at no cost and is open to any child in West Virginia . The weekend event contains fun activities intermixed with coping skills and appropriate alternatives in expressing their grief.

As quoted in a recent article by WBOY in regard to the 2011 camp, Chris Garbart said "Nabe stands for butterfly. It is Korean, but they're like butterflies and we do release the live butterfly. But it's a symbol. The kids come to us all shy and timid and by the time they leave on Sunday, they're ready to fly like the butterflies fly. They're ready to go for the rest of their life."
