Weekend retreats for adults to grieve, connect, and play

October 10-12, 2025

Bryn Mawr Mountain Retreat

These weekends will include many of the activities that make Experience Camps so special, like sharing circles, campfires, and other fun camp activities, plus authentic connection with your peers in a safe and supportive space.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:

• Time to slow down, share, and reflect more deeply on your grief
• Lots of laughs and time to play like a kid, surrounded by other adults who “get it” about grief
• Meaningful connection with other young-at-heart adults who have experienced the death of someone close to them
• Activities and workshops exploring how your experiences have shaped who you are, while gaining clarity and direction as you look towards the future
• Campfires, yoga, an epic relay race…and more fun surprises

WHO THIS EXPERIENCE IS FOR: 

• Grieving adults who have experienced a death-loss, including but not limited to parent or guardian, partner, sibling, and/or child.
• Ages 21+

PRICING:

$675 for an all-inclusive weekend of camp, including meals, accommodations, clinical activities, fun activities, and all the s’mores you can eat
