Camp Courage is a day camp for children and teens ages 6–17 who have experienced the death of someone important to them, such as a parent, grandparent, sibling, relative, or friend. The camp provides a safe, supportive environment where participants can connect with others who have experienced loss, share their feelings, and learn that they are not alone in their grief.
Through age-appropriate activities including art, music, games, group discussions, and remembrance activities, campers have opportunities to:
- Recognize and express their feelings in healthy ways
- Share memories and celebrate the lives of their loved ones
- Better understand grief and the many emotions that come with loss
- Explore ways to maintain meaningful connections to loved ones who have died
- Learn healthy coping skills and build resilience
- Connect with peers who are experiencing similar losses
Family Time
If you’re a parent or guardian, please join us at 4:00 p.m. on camp day to learn about the camp activities and to participate in a time of remembrance.
Staff and Volunteers
Our staff is made up of social workers, grief counselors, chaplains, nurses, and volunteers who have training and experience in working with children who have lost loved ones.
