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.

Coming up on 7 years with you gone. You are missed every day, loved every moment and forever with us. I hope wherever you are, you can see the light in the darkness that this candle represents and know we are okay. And you are loved and missed Mom. ❤️❤️
