POLAND — Androscoggin Home Care & Hospice’s Camp Dragonfly will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 11, at Tripp Lake Camp.

Camp Dragonfly is a one-day retreat designed to bring together grieving children, teens and supportive people in their lives to deal with the loss of a loved one.

Specially trained counselors and volunteers provide a caring environment to help meet the unique needs of grieving children, teens and adults. Camp activities offer opportunities for both therapeutic experiences and education about the grief process. Camp Dragonfly is also prepared to support children who have not yet experienced a loss but are living with a family member with a terminal illness.

The goal of the camp is to offer assistance to youths who have experienced a loss and to help families feel comfortable having those difficult conversations with their children and other family members about death and loss.

The camp is free and open to the community. Preregistration is required by Wednesday, June 8, by calling 207-795-9468.
