Experience Camps is a nonprofit that champions the nation’s 5.6 million children who will experience the death of a parent or sibling by age 18. We run a network of no-cost camps that help grieving children thrive.

Our summer camps in California, Maine, Pennsylvania, Michigan, 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.
