Camp Lionheart.
Camp Lionheart is truly a place of hope and healing for kids in the State of Ohio who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling or primary caregiver. Kids and teens ages 7-17 who have experienced the death of a loved one come from all over Central Ohio for a whole to week to grieve, learn ways to cope with their loss, make friends and have a lot of fun! Unfortunately, time may not heal all wounds we encounter in life. This means that sometimes we need to seek out additional help to facilitate healing. Camp Lionheart provides kids and teens with the compassion and expertise needed to help face the difficult task of grieving. Camp Lionheart is a 501(c)3 in it's 17th year of existence and continues to provide a therapeutic, fun and healing program for kids. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to call or email if additional information is needed. Camp Lionheart is made possible by grants from the The Zangmeister Cancer Center, The GBD Foundation, Boarhead, The Athens Foundation, Jocarno Fund, Solly and Sammy Foundation for Peace, and generous support from Alison Rose, Project Linus, many private donations, generous families who are able to donate to our program, and other wonderful contributions and fundraisers. Camp Lionheart is always looking for additional grants, donations and sponsors to assist children in need of financial assistance due to the immense increase in need in our community. If you are interested in sponsoring a child or able to make in-kind donations towards camp costs, please contact our Clinical Director, Kristen Santel, LISW-S at 614-506-7959 or camplionheartcolumbus@gmail.com, or visit our "donate" section.
