70% of people said they’re unsure what to do or say when someone they care about is grieving. And many grieving people feel pressure to continue traditions, which can leave them feeling anxious, guilty, and overwhelmed.
That’s why we’ve created this list of five essential “gifts” grieving people can give themselves this holiday season.

We love the following guide from Sarah Nannen, founder of The Center for Grief & Growth, on how to host people who are grieving at your holiday get-together this year.

“When the day comes around for your person who died, let it all out: cry, feel everything, and even lay in bed all day. But also try to find some time to celebrate your person’s life in ways big or small.” - Louie, a camper of ours whose dad died when she was six.

Attention Experience Camps family: Wednesday 11/15 is #CampTshirtDay. To celebrate camp spirit, find a favorite picture of you or your camper wearing an Experience Camps T-shirt. Then head over to our main Facebook page and post it in the comments of the competition post.
It’s a new month (oh hello, November), and we’ve got three fantastic new team members to introduce you to: Shalice Sherald, new Beyond-the-Bunk Program Manager; Jordan Rappoport, Regional Program Associate; and Samira Moosavi, Regional Clinical Manager!
In recognition of Children's Grief Awareness Month this month, we’re partnering with national childhood grief organizations National Alliance for Children's Grief (NACG), Eluna, Dougy Center and Judi’s House to "flip the script" on grief.
All month, we’ll offer concrete language tweaks we can use to create a more grief-sensitive society. We hope you’ll find them helpful and share our posts so we can together learn how to best show up for one another. Here’s the first one! #flipthescript #childhoodgrief
