Camp Woe-Be-Gone
A special event for grieving children
The Caring Tree Program of Big Bend Hospice and the Challenger Learning Center invite children,
ages 6-12, who have experienced the death of a loved one to join in a day of fun, support,
exploration, and expression.  Campers will enjoy a day filled with sharing circles, creative arts, a
space simulation, music, and a time of remembrance.  Breakfast, lunch, snacks, t-shirts, and
transportation to and from the Challenger Center will be provided.  This camp is a community
outreach of Big Bend Hospice, Inc.  The event will take place on Saturday, May 20, 2006 from 8:00
am-5:00 pm.  Meet at Big Bend Hospice, 1723 Mahan Center Blvd., at 7:30 am.  Call Marsha or

Nutrition Tip of the Week
Snack on fruits and vegetables.
Fruits and vegetables are low calorie and full of vitamins and minerals.  These vitamins and
minerals help keep you strong and healthy so that you can do all the things you want to do.
Keeping your calorie intake balanced with your activity level will help you stay at a healthy body
weight.

Physical Activity Tip of the Week
Make it FUN:  Choose activities that are fun, not exhausting.  Add variety.  Develop a repertoire of
several activities that you can enjoy.  That way, exercise will never seem boring or routine.  Use
music to keep you entertained while being active.
