Healing, hope, and fun are coming to your community. 

This summer, The Children’s House Child Advocacy Center is bringing Camp Connection to pop-up locations throughout Bradford and Sullivan Counties.

Children and families are invited to stop by and receive a free Camp in a Bag filled with activities and resources designed to encourage creativity, connection, healthy coping skills, safety, and emotional wellness.

 

What is Camp in a Bag?

Camp Connection has been reimagined to reach even more children and families across our rural communities. Instead of gathering at one central location, we’re taking Camp Connection on the road with Camp in a Bag. Each free bag is filled with hands-on activities that encourage learning, creativity, play, and skills that promote resilience and emotional well-being.

Bags are available on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. We will distribute 300 bags throughout Bradford and Sullivan Counties, with activities designed primarily for children ages 6–12. Families are invited to visit any of our scheduled distribution locations to receive one bag per child.

Creative activities and crafts.

Therapeutic and coping-skill tools.

Child abuse prevention and safety resources.

Items that encourage mindfulness and connection.
