Grief can feel isolating, but having a supportive space to connect can make all the difference.

At our Courageous Caterpillars Camp, campers will take part in fun and engaging activities designed to:

Help them connect in a safe and encouraging space
Learn coping strategies to manage emotions
Know they are not alone on their journey

Our goal is to provide a meaningful day where children feel supported and surrounded by others who share similar experiences. This camp is completely free thanks to our generous supporters, but space is limited.

Together, we can make a way for children left behind by su***de.
