Camp because I said I would offers bereavement retreats that help grieving families and individuals begin to heal, thanks to the generosity of donors like you. We offer support in two ways:

  • Level 1: Time Away with Family – A no-cost stay in our resort cabins for families who have lost a loved one, offering quiet time together in nature without workshops or guided activities.

  • Level 2: Adult Bereavement Retreat – A supportive retreat for adults that includes guided workshops on mental health and resiliency, along with time to rest and reflect.

Tara & Her Children: A Family Learning to Heal: An Adult Retreat

Tara lost her husband in June 2024 after a 16-month battle with brain cancer, leaving her to navigate grief with their three children, ages 10, 12, and 16. “I want to be able to be their biggest support while also healing myself.” Her daughter opens up, but her sons—especially her 16-year-old—keep their emotions hidden. Your donation will give this family the space to connect, express their feelings, and begin building a path forward—together.
