RUSH, Ky. — Camp Nabe is a three-day bereavement camp sponsored by Community Hospice based in Ashland and is designed for children ages 8 to 16 who have lost a sibling, parent, grandparent or another loved one.

Camp Nabe has been conducted each summer for the past 20 years, offering children a place to have fun, find peace and experience healing. Camp Nabe offers recreational activities such as swimming, arts and crafts, fishing and other fun activities along with counseling and therapy sessions conducted in a safe, supportive environment to help children with the process of healing from their loss.

The camp is free of charge and open to all children who have suffered a loss, not just those served by Community Hospice.
