Special Camp Event:

November 10th- We invite each camper to have up to 2 guests join them to make art!
We will also have an open house from 7:00 PM-8:00 PM


The camp is for children and teens ages 7 to 17 who have lost someone dear to them. Here, they begin the healing process by acknowledging their feelings and learning to cope with them. It offers grieving children a safe place to work through their grief, take time to reflect on the loved one/s they are missing and begin the healing process.


Activities include guest speakers, crafts and a special visit from the Hoff-mann Hounds therapy dogs. Color, imagery and a variety of mediums are tools that help hurting children express hard-to-understand emotions. Communication is increased and coping skills are developed as children work through their grief and connect with children who have experi-enced similar losses. When it comes to art projects, counselors will focus less on the artistic quality and more on what the work reveals.


Holiday Heart Art camp has been fulled funded with the support of The Bakersfield Californian Foundation and is co-hosted by Dignity Health's Art and Spirituality Center. The support of these two organizations makes it possible for Hoffmann Hospice to offer the camp at NO COST to 40 participants. Each participant must register to reserve their spot. Register Today and join us for some Holiday Heart Art!
