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.

We miss him. May will be 1 year since his passing. His, wife and 2 sons especially missing him. We think about him everyday. Even joke about his going on when he was with us. So, to all we will continue to light a candle.

Miss my son every single day! He was a bright young man with an infectious smile and laugh and was loved by so many! He left behind 3 beautiful daughters, ours now to cherish! His tragic unnecessary death occurred 5 years ago now. It’s still just like it was yesterday!
