Hands Together, Heart to Art is a summer day camp for children ages 7-14 who have experienced the death of a parent. The camp is hosted by the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University and
was founded by the Theatre's Executive Director, Brett Batterson. Brett unexpectedly lost his father to a heart attack when he was seven years old. He created this camp to help other children discover the healing power of creative play, to find others who have experienced a similar loss, to have access to qualified counselors and listen to the stories of successful adults who lost a parent as a child. Brett recently received an award from State Farm Insurance for his work with the camp.
