Camp Aloha
Southern Motors is proud to sponsor Camp Aloha.
Camp Aloha is for children ages 6-17 who have experienced the death of a loved one within the last 24 months. The annual camp provides a time of structured activities and play which helps the children realize they are not alone in their grief experience. Our next overnight camp will be held at the new Ebenezer Retreat Center in Rincon from May 5-May 7, 2023. There is a nominal non-refundable registration fee of $25 per child, with scholarships available. Thank you for your interest in Camp Aloha, we are at full capacity for campers. If you’d like to be added to next year’s list, please call a bereavement counselor at (912) 303-9442.
For information regarding volunteering, contact a bereavement counselor at (912) 303-9442 or fill out the volunteer application at this link.
