Thank you for your interest in participating in Hope Loves Company's virtual group share program for Hikers (10-12 years old)! We're grateful to be able to share this resource with you and your children.

A group share, also known as a healing circle, is a peer support group facilitated by a licensed mental health professional(s) or grief counselor with experience facilitating support groups, working with children, and addressing grief issues. If you and/or your family have attended Camp HLC, then you've most likely participated in a group share (or parent/guardian meet and greet)!

A virtual group share operates in the same way as a traditional group share at Camp HLC, except that it takes place via video chat! And like all of our programs, group shares are provided at no cost to children and families affected by ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease.

Hikers Group Shares will take place on the second Wednesday of the month from 7 PM - 8 PM EST. We do not meet in July or August and will meet in December for a virtual Wrap Up Party with all of our families.

Please complete a form for EACH participant. Please know that we also offer monthly group shares for Guides (13-21 years old) and monthly parent/guardian meet and greets for adults affected by ALS. Guides meet on the first Wednesday of the month at 7 PM EST and adults meet on the third Wednesday of the month at 7 PM EST. You can access registration for Hikers group shares and parent/guardian meet and greets at hopelovescompany.org/virtual-programs.
