Where remembrance, connection, and joy can exist together

WHAT FAMILIES CAN EXPECT

Good Grief Summer Camp is a multi-day, family-centered experience for children, teens, young adults, and caregivers grieving the death of someone important. 

Camp combines age-based peer support, caregiver wellness, creative expression, movement, recreation, remembrance activities, and opportunities to build meaningful connections.

  • Caregiver support and wellness sessions
  • Art and other forms of creative expression
  • Movement, recreation, and outdoor activities
