“ It helped me feel like I’m not different. Now I feel like it’s not just me who’s sad, mad, and confused. I feel like there are people in the world like me who have lost a loved one in their family. I don’t feel alone anymore.”
— Camper, age 10

— Jeff, parent of children aged 5 & 7
“ I had no idea that a camp like this even existed. Thank you! What you’re doing for the kids who attend is so important. I know some of the kids’ stories now, and I can’t imagine myself in their positions without someone to talk to who understands.”
— Connie, parent of girls aged 12 & 15
“ To spend a weekend having fun with kids just like you is incredible. I’m so thrilled that my kids have the opportunity to do so.”
— Paula, parent
“ When I arrived and sat in the circle, I could not hold back the tears when we were given the run down from the weekend. Tears of joy indeed. I heard the group of girls my daughters were a part of bonded pretty much immediately and were all very supportive of each other. Thank you for creating that space.”
— Liz, parent of twins aged 15
“ It’s like one big family. Everyone really opens up and they see that they’re not suffering alone. I think it’s one of the most powerful experiences anyone can have.”
