A Time to Heal...Camp Good Grief 2022

This July, 168 campers (ages 4-17) from Suffolk and Nassau Counties and the Tri-State area shared a healing week of therapy and fun at Camp Good Grief. Campers opened up about the deaths of parents, siblings, and loved ones, learned new skills to express their feelings, and, most importantly, met other kids just like them.

More than 90 volunteers and staff, our Valentine Luncheon Supporters, thrift shop customers, generous donors, and businesses made Camp possible and free of charge to all participating families.
