COLUMBUS, Ind. – Our Hospice of South Central Indiana has announced that it is canceling Camp Eva, a half-day bereavement camp for children ages 5 through 12. It was originally scheduled for Saturday, September 18, at Columbus Youth Camp.
“In keeping with our priority of protecting the health and safety of the children and their families, we have made the disappointing decision to cancel Camp Eva due to the rising cases of COVID-19 and increased hospitalizations,” said Our Hospice President Laura Leonard.
She added, “Camp Eva is for children 5-12 and that is an age group that is not yet eligible for vaccinations. With the rise of the Delta variant, we are not willing to risk exposing these children and their families who have already suffered a loss of someone important to them.”
