Camp Cocoon 2021
August 6, 7 and 8
The PruittCares Foundation is pleased to announce that tentative planning has begun for a safe and fun Camp Cocoon 2021. Scheduled for August 6, 7 and 8, in beautiful Tallulah Falls, Georgia, this will be the 18th year for Camp Cocoon, a weekend bereavement camp for children ages 6 – 16.
Due to COVID-19, planning and information for Camp Cocoon will remain tentative until after May 1, 2021. Additionally, the Camp Cocoon regional day camps usually held in the spring have been put on hold due to the pandemic.
Please contact PruittCaresFoundation@PruittHealth.com or 678-533-6462 with any questions.
Camp Cocoon is a camp for children ages 5 and up and their families who have experienced the loss of a loved one.
Campers have the opportunity to meet other young people who are going through similar loss situations. While having fun in a safe and caring environment, campers begin to feel comfortable sharing their stories and connecting with their peers who understand what it’s like to experience bereavement.
“They had fun and felt comfortable sharing about their mom who passed in March of this year. I’m glad this camp is available for children! I think this lets the kids know they are not the only one who have experienced losing their loved one.” - Parent of a camper
Camp Cocoon gives young people the tools – both emotionally and spiritually – to deal with devastating changes. The camp experience helps participants develop from a feeling of loss to a celebration of life, from confusion to understanding, from cocoons to butterflies!
