Keeping Up with Kate's Club

"‘Inside Out’ Offers Important Lessons

for Grieving Children and Adults"

The theme for the month of September is “Inside Out! - Identifying and Managing Our Feelings,” centered around the many emotions children, teens and young adults feel while grieving. We know there is no one way to grieve, and we all feel a range of emotions after the death of a loved one.

In the article "‘Inside Out’ Offers Important Lessons for Grieving Children and Adults," the author walks through just some of the emotions we feel while grieving, why they are all important, and how to talk about them. Click here to read the article.

We hosted another wonderful session of Camp Good Mourning from August 12-14 at Camp Twin Lakes! Thank you to our incredible team and volunteers who gave our campers a great weekend. Click here to watch our camp recap!

Spin for Kids is Camp Twin Lakes' annual fundraising bike race that helps provide life-changing camp experiences for children with serious illnesses, disabilities, or other life challenges. Spin for Kids offers multiple routes for participants of all skill levels.

We ride for Camp Good Mourning which is hosted each year at Camp Twin Lakes!

Kate's Club has benefitted from partnering with Camp Twin Lakes for many years. Our first Camp Good Mourning was held at CTL in Rutledge, GA with just ten campers and eight buddies and we've now grown to having two camp sessions, hosting over 100 campers each!

The majority of the proceeds that Team Kate's Club raises with Spin for Kids will go directly towards our bill from Camp Twin Lakes so please consider riding with us!

“Grief is like the ocean; it comes in waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim."
