Alive’s Grief Camp for Youth

Alive’s FREE overnight grief camp, Camp Forget-Me-Not, is for ANY youth (aged 8-17) who has experienced the death of someone significant. Camp Forget-Me-Not combines traditional camp fun (ziplining, swimming and water slides) with therapeutic activities from Alive’s licensed grief counselors to remember loved ones and make connections with peers who are also grieving. Teens have their own groups and activities.

Save the Date: Camp Forget-Me-Not 2027

Mark your calendars for Camp Forget-Me-Not 2027, happening August 13-15, 2027!

Camp Forget-Me-Not is a special weekend for children and teens who are grieving the death of a special person. Through connection, support, remembrance, and fun, campers find a safe place to share their grief journey alongside peers who understand.

We can’t wait to come together for another meaningful weekend of healing, hope, and community.

This was the most amazing experience for my daughter. I recommend anyone with a child who has experienced a loss be a part of the camp. The tools provided and being able to talk with other kids the same age is so impactful. My daughter wants to be a part of it every year and even become a camp counselor when she is old enough to help others in the future.
