Experience Camps for Grieving Children is a nonprofit organization that operates no-cost summer camps designed to support children who have experienced the death of a parent or sibling by age 18. The camps, held in several states, provide a structured environment where grieving youths can process loss, connect with peers facing similar challenges, and participate in traditional camp activities that foster leadership, confidence, and cooperation under the guidance of professional bereavement staff. The organization serves families and children in the United States through a network of camps across California, Maine, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia, aiming to reduce isolation and offer supportive, developmental experiences during the healing process. Based in Westport, Connecticut, Experience Camps partners with other organizations and communities to extend its reach, and it has a history of establishing programs and partnerships to enhance its grief education and support efforts. A recent development includes launching a program to help grieving teens, reflecting ongoing efforts to expand its services to older youth while maintaining no-cost access for participants.
