Camp_Koala (Dillsburg) -- For most children, summertime in Central Pennsylvania means sunshine and freedom.

The inaugural gathering of Camp Koala is hoping to change that.

Camp Koala, hopefully the first of many gatherings of children with a loss, in the ongoing process of healing, and trained and compassionate, open-minded volunteer adults, all with the goal of helping children along the path of grieving and most especially, of healing. It was a wonderful inaugural camp! It was an honor to be a part of it.
