Thrive Camp is a 3-day faith-based camp for children and teens who have suffered the loss of a loved one. All are welcomed regardless of religious background.

Children and teens will be welcomed into an atmosphere that encourages the idea that there is hope and healing in darkness. Camp will include daily sessions with their peers that help your child learn that they are not alone in their suffering. In addition to this, we will be providing lunches and taking campers off-site to multiple locations throughout the week that will teach various coping skills that will last a lifetime.
