Camp Good Grief

West Branch, MI

Camp Good Grief is a one-day camp for children age 5-17 who have experienced the loss of a significant person in their life. The camp is free of charge and open to various types of human loss.

Losing a loved one is difficult at any age. But it is especially hard on a child. Founded in 2005, Camp Good Grief helps children who are struggling with the difficult emotions often associated with the loss of a loved one in their life. At camp, children are able to express themselves and meet others their age dealing with similar situations.

Camp includes confidence building programs and age-based support that helps kids break the isolation that grief often brings. At camp, children find a place where they have a voice and can start to heal in a safe and fun environment.
