The loss of a loved one is hard on those who are left behind, as one navigates the grief that naturally follows a death. Whether one is grieving on their own or within a family system, they deserve a safe space to share on their journey after loss. To answer this need from the community, Hospice Atlanta founded the bereavement retreat called Camp STARS (Sharing Together As Real Support) in 1994, the first bereavement camp of its kind in Georgia. This three-day bereavement event is set on a gorgeous 300-acre campus where individuals can feel the peace and safety, allowing the expression of their emotions along side others who are in a similar situation and share many of the same strong feelings.

The camp is staffed by experienced, nurturing counselors, social workers, chaplains and trained volunteers who guide everyone through the grieving process. It’s a chance to let go for the weekend, bond with family members, and make new friends. There are plenty of opportunities for enlightenment, spirituality, learning and just plain fun.

Camp STARS takes place at Camp Twin Lakes in Rutledge, Georgia and takes place in November each year.  This is all made possible by the incredible generosity of our Visiting Nurse community partners, individual donors and foundations and organizations that support this mission.

Giving Tuesday will be celebrated in three weeks on Tuesday, December 3rd and we need you to join us to help care for our seniors, the fastest growing population in Georgia. 
Did you know that 75% of our patients are seniors and 40% live in poverty? 
• Your gift of $150 pays for one healthcare at home visit to an uninsured patient. 
• Many seniors are left alone and are unable to navigate resources like Medicaid and Medicare due to illiteracy. 
• On any given day, we help approximately 500 seniors navigate health insurance and during the months of waiting for insurance authorization we provide care in the home regardless of their ability to pay.
 Thank you for considering a gift today or on Giving Tuesday.
