What is Camp Grin Again?

Grief doesn’t have to be a void of joy—at Camp Grin Again, we believe there’s space for both healing and happiness. Our camps provide children and teens with a supportive environment where they can express their emotions, share their experiences, and develop lifelong coping skills.

Camp Grin Again is a week-long half-day camp where children and teens are encouraged to express their feelings and share their experiences in a safe environment. Children will participate in age- appropriate activities to help them grow and develop life long coping skills.
