Light a Candle

At the end of every week of camp, we hold a final campfire and candle lighting ceremony for our campers, volunteers and staff, to remember and honor the people in their lives who have died.

With the pandemic of grief we are facing in our world, we created this space for everyone in our community to pause, reflect, and virtually light a candle for someone you have lost.

Sister, I think about you daily. I hope you have noticed the amount of Tiesto I have been listening to, to feel closer to you. When I built your alter, I felt you with me in a way I had not before and smelling your perfume has been life changing for me. Even though I don't love the smell :). I have faith that...

I love you mama. You were such a great mom. You sacrificed so much. I know you're in a better place, with no pain. It's still painful to not have u here. I know u would want me to thrive and be happy. So that's my goal. I miss u. I love you.

At 17 full of life and love heading in a great direction for being successful and happy, my son was killed by a drunk and high driver. I am so broken and lost without my son who had so much life in him! My golden child!

Mama always told you to be the light and now you are just that and your light lives thru us. Your missed beyond words, I don’t even know how I’m functioning. It’s so hard without you here. I love you forever

We love you and miss you so much. You always did so much for us and put us before yourself. You were the best dad I could have ever asked for. Your laugh was so contagious—it always made me laugh and filled the room with joy. I loved the stories you told me as a kid; they always carried advice and love.
