Experience Camps

Since 2009, Experience Camps has transformed the lives of thousands of campers and has spent more than 550,000 in-person hours helping them navigate their grief. We operate 10 camp programs at locations in 5 states, serving children and teens from nearly every us state and 9 countries. Our one-week, overnight summer Camps and year-round efforts help to reframe the Experience of grief and equip kids with invaluable coping skills that enable them to move forward with their lives. Please note: in fy21, to better align with summer programming, we shifted from calendar year to a 9/30 fye. As a result, fy21 reflected 9 months (1/1/21-9/30/21) while the current fiscal year (fy22) reflects 12 months. The 9 months in fy21 included our largest programming expense quarters while failing to account for any year-end charitable revenue.

The organization provides bereavement support to children through summer Camps, year-round programs and other online support. In the summer of 2022, Experience Camps served 925 children and teens by offering 10 camp programs in 5 different locations. In addition, grieving children benefit from a variety of resources provided year-round, including in-person reunions and activities, custom-built gaming platforms (on minecraft and roblox), and informative content delivered through newsletters and social media.
