Hosted at Slough Farm in Edgartown, this one-day grief camp supports children in grades K-8 and their families after the death of someone close. Participation is free. The program blends grief support and education with engaging activities such as face painting, arts and crafts, a yoga class, visits with farm animals, music, and more. Staff and volunteers provide a supportive space where children can explore feelings, share memories, and connect with peers, while parents and guardians are offered additional activities and support. Applications are available online and accepted on a rolling basis until the camp is full, and a pre-camp interview is required. Before the camp, a pizza meet-up gives campers a chance to meet their assigned buddy volunteers and get to know other participants.
