camp kelly

Camp Kelly is a summer day camp designed for grieving children and adolescents, ages 6-15, who have experienced the loss of a loved one. Hosted at Kelly’s Grief Center, Camp Kelly provides a safe and supportive space for campers to express their grief, connect with others, and build coping skills, all while forming new friendships and enjoying fun activities.

This year, we’re expanding our support by offering an educational group for parents and guardians. This group will provide valuable information about grief and practical ways to support their grieving children through this difficult time. The camp will culminate with a campfire, offering a unique opportunity for campers to reflect on their experiences, share stories, and build meaningful connections with one another.

Activities are led by licensed mental health therapists and volunteers. We provide snacks, lunch, and dinner throughout the day. The cost to attend is $50, but financial assistance is available to ensure every child has the opportunity to attend.
