Danvers – Care Dimensions will hold its 20th annual Camp Stepping Stones, a special opportunity for children and their families to connect with other grieving families, to honor and remember those who have died, and have some fun. This year, with COVID precautions in mind, Camp Stepping Stones will be a mostly virtual event with five days of activities planned. On day one, families have the option to participate in a safe, in-person, outdoor family activity at Glen Urquhart School campus in Beverly.
July 17: Families have the option to meet Camp staff, participate in an in-person family activity, and pick up their supplies for the week. (Safety measures will be communicated to families prior to arrival and we will mail supplies to those families who do not attend in person.)

- Monday through Thursday: Children and teens tune in from 5 to 6:30 p.m. for age-appropriate group activities designed just for them.
