We are the seven highest state in the nation with kids that will experience a death or a sibling one and 11 kids in our state.

Experience the death of a parent or sibling.

By the time they're 18 and the national average is one and 18 and so that's really important opportunity for kids to be able to talk with other kids about whether it's a parent that died a sibling and died a grandparent that died.

Whoever was special in their life that has died.

What do you define this with something really needed to be done right here in our community.

He told me the numbers, but, we need to help kids in our community.

This is on.

We have an ongoing bereavement program for kids an because of all the things that are happening right now in our world and and all that.

There's so much unknown.

We really felt like doing a virtual camp this year would be very important.

Just because not only has have these kids had people that they love died that there are so man other losses have in included in their world not anything that they wanted but it's just testing it happened because of the pandemic of the tornado a lot of different things that happened over the course of the last five or six absolutely seen until a little bit about how th groups are broken up the age groups and why done it this way so we have because actions and creep differently according to age and, or, littles are 5 to 7.

Our middles are eight and nine and our oldest are 10 and 12, 1 and 12-year-olds will talk abou death from lathe and a five-yea- old will be talking about that and so we will use a different activities for the littles that will do different or that oldest just because of their ability to understand, comprehend and process apart on their areas with whoever is died will be doing some we haven't been our project.

We have a drumming variance with bob stagner through shaky ray levi society.

Each of the kids is getting a hand drawn that they'll get to keep and on.

We have a lot of other activities that were can be doing throughout the hour and half and so it will go really fast to keep their attention.

Just because we cannot ever done this before when we meet in person.

It's a six-hour camp an on the kids do a lot of timesharing will have group activities where they can share about the person that died and show a picture and so that ... it's really important.

It is wonderful for kids to find othe kids that understand what it's like to have a sibling die or a dad diagram die because it's not a world that typically talk about were adults talk about sin and offensive like some more information on how to be a part of this happening to so they can go on to our website, you must register by next tuesday, which is the 20 eighth of july and the our website is www.house.
