It gives kids space to be around other kids who get it, while mixing grief support with activities, connection and fun at a pace that feels safe.
Grief can make children feel different, left out or alone, especially when other kids aren’t carrying the same thing. Camp creates a space where they can relax, laugh and connect, while also having support when the hard parts show up.

Sponsoring a camper helps to make sure cost isn’t a barrier for a child who needs this weekend.
All Dustin’s Place services are offered free of charge, and we depend on the generosity of community supporters in maintaining this model.
Camp Erin at Dustin’s Place volunteers help create the environment that makes this weekend work: safe, steady, welcoming and fun. If you’re interested in volunteering, start here, and we’ll follow up with next steps.
