UW-Green Bay’s Camp Lloyd may have been prevented from hosting the annual in-person camp this summer for grieving kids because of COVID-19, but that didn’t stop founder and director, Prof, Illene Cupit, and more than 30 undergraduate students and five grief counselors from bringing the camp to kids with virtual camp of ongoing videos, designed to bring joy, hope and healing.
Now in its 15th year, Camp Lloyd is a camp for kids 7-14 years of age, who have lost a parent or sibling.
Normally, kids come to UW-Green Bay’s beautiful campus for a week in June to spend time with other kids, undergraduate students (called buddies) and grief counselors.
Virtual Camp Lloyd is now available on the Camp Lloyd website. More than 20 videos are featured, covering topics of fun, food, creativity and contemplation.
Each video is introduced by Cupit, a buddy or a grief counselor and runs 3-5 minutes in length.
