Adult Retreat

For the Adults
ExCamps #FTA

A weekend retreat for adults to grieve, connect, and play
June 2-4, 2023
Camps Equinunk and Blue Ridge in Pennsylvania

This weekend 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 a parent or sibling.
  • Engagement in activities and workshops exploring how your grief experiences have shaped who you are and where you want to head.
  • Campfires, yoga, an epic relay race…and maybe even some milkshakes.

WHO THIS EXPERIENCE IS FOR: 

  • Adults who have experienced the death of a parent or sibling.
  • Ages 21+

PRICING:

$450 for an all-inclusive weekend of camp, including meals (Friday lunch through Sunday lunch), accommodations, and all the s’mores you can eat!
