Experience Camps For Grieving Children

Experience Camps provide free, one-week summer camps for children who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling or primary caregiver. Our summer camps in New York, Maine, California, and Georgia provide a safe environment where kids can explore their grief, break the isolation they may feel with their non-camp peers, and have a whole lot of fun. They have the opportunity to meet and connect with kids who are coping with similar challenges, while getting all of the benefits of the traditional summer camp experience. Through team sports, individual challenges and community living they learn about leadership, confidence and cooperation. Under the guidance of professional bereavement staff, campers have the opportunity to share stories and remember the one who died, while exploring skills that will help them after camp.
