Fund a Campership

Cost should never be a barrier to grief support. Ensure a widow or widower can attend Camp Widow, by giving the gift of a campership.

Camp Widow

An uplifting, life-affirming event planned for widowed people by widowed people.

These beautiful, strong widows/widowers help me so much. I found a place where I feel truly like I can be normal, people that understand what I am going through. I also feel encouraged to live again, that it is ok that I am different from who I used to be. LONG LIVE LOVE!

My first Camp Widow was an amazing experience. Unquestionably the most caring and inspiring group of people I will ever meet!

Camp Widow has played a major part in my ability to handle the loss of my wife, and has been so helpful to me as a single dad. The connections and widowed friendships that I have made are priceless.
