We’re breathing all the time. But when it comes to stress relief, not all breathing is equal.

The body’s stress cycle

- Our bodies are built to handle periodic crises. When we sense danger, our bodies release “stress hormones” that enable us to respond powerfully and fast. When the crisis is over, those hormones are no longer released. The body returns to relaxed, “normal” mode.

Camp Carousel promotes healthy mourning through creativity and fun. Learn how to cope with a death-related loss

Monday, July 26 – Friday, July 30

Camp Carousel is designed to meet the unique needs of grieving children and teens (ages 6-17). In this caring environment, a specially trained staff of counselors and volunteers help children and teens learn how to express their grief and develop new coping skills for facing their life changes. Campers have an opportunity to meet others their own age who know what it’s like to lose a loved one.

Camp Carousel provides services for grieving adults. This therapeutic experience offers adult sessions geared toward learning how to cope with personal loss and life change. They, too, have the opportunity to interact with others grieving similar losses.

Camp Carousel promotes learning through creativity and fun. Groups involve the use of the creative arts — art therapy, music therapy, creative play, and animal assisted therapy — to provide campers a natural outlet for the expression and understanding of feelings..
