What is Camp Sapling?
Camp Sapling is a free one-day grief camp for children 5 through 11 years old who are either too young for Camp Evergreen or are just not quite ready for an overnight camp.
We strive to provide a safe, healthy, supportive and accepting atmosphere for youth to share experiences and feelings associated with the death of a loved one.
What happens at camp?
Campers participate in fun adventures organized and facilitated by qualified camp staff and volunteers.
​
The many adventures are designed to:
– develop self confidence,
– build trust,
– teach coping skills, and
– allow kids to simply be kids again.
​
Camp Sapling staff includes a Camp Director and trained volunteers.
​
The camp experience includes:
– Healthy lunch and snack
– Grief activities
– Outdoor games
