What to Expect

C.O.P.S. Kids Camp invites families to step away from the hustle of daily life and connect in a fun environment. For young children suffering the loss of a parent, finding a safe space to express their feelings and relate to your children can be challenging. This camp not only provides that safe environment but also offers a supportive atmosphere for parents and guardians to share their challenges and experiences of helping their child(ren) through their grief journey. 

Child campers will engage in age-appropriate grief counseling sessions tailored to their unique needs, guided by licensed mental health professionals who will equip them with valuable tools for navigating their emotions at home. Adult campers join their group counseling sessions designed to equip them with tools to support themselves and their children.

Child campers will be grouped in cabins based on their age, with each cabin having a mentor(s) who is either a law enforcement officer or an adult child survivor. Adult campers will stay in nearby cabins, just a short walk from the children's cabins. Campers will also have the chance to sign up for exciting activities, all within a structured setting that promotes relationship building. By the end of the week, we aspire for every camper to walk away with a deeper sense of personal growth and a network of peers who truly understand their journey.
