Zwirlein Camp Blue Skies Provides Fun While Helping Children Cope “From the moment your child arrives at Camp Blue Skies they are made to feel welcome,” said Jim Grande, LCSW, coordinator of Children’s Programs at Life Transitions Center, Inc. “They meet dedicated staff and other children who know exactly what it is like to experience the death of a loved one.” Camp Blue Skies is an annual camp for children between the ages of 7 and 16 which is run under the auspices of Hospice Buffalo. It is held each year at picturesque Cradle Beach Camp in Angola, New York. Camp Blue Skies is staffed by a team of professional grief counselors and trained volunteers. The children’s caregivers get a restful overnight break during which they can relax; knowing their child is having fun and is being well taken care of. If you are interested in Cradle Beach for your child or would like to volunteer for our 2009 overnight camp, please call Jim Grande at (716) 836-6460. Administration Move Jeopardizes Hospice Care, Continued from page 11. 13 CONGRESS SHOULD PRESERVE HOSPICE Congress has historically rejected Administration requests to reduce the level of hospice reimbursement, realizing the harmful impact such cuts would have on care at the bedside. To date, sentiment on Capitol Hill largely remains the same – a bicameral and bipartisan group of more than 90 members of Congress has sent a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary, Mike Leavitt, in opposition to the proposed rule.
