We believe that every child deserves to live a life rich with possibility.
We are a national network of summer camps for children and teens who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling, or primary caregiver.
Since 2009, Experience Camps has transformed the lives of thousands of children by reframing the experience of their grief and empowering them with the confidence, skills, and support to move forward with their lives.
The need is enormous.
1 in 5 children will experience the death of someone close to them by age 18.
Over the last five years, our demand for camp has increased 500% and COVID-19 means tens of thousands more kids are now being impacted by childhood grief. Our 5-year goal is to double the number of kids attending camp and expand our reach and resources to millions more.
