SINCE 2009, EXPERIENCE CAMPS HAS TRANSFORMED THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF CAMPERS AND HAS SPENT MORE THAN 450,000 IN-PERSON HOURS HELPING THEM NAVIGATE THEIR GRIEF. WE OPERATE CAMPS AT LOCATIONS IN 5 STATES, SERVING CHILDREN AND TEENS FROM 37 STATES AND 5 COUNTRIES. OUR ONE-WEEK, OVERNIGHT SUMMER CAMP AND YEAR-ROUND EFFORTS HELP TO REFRAME THE EXPERIENCE OF GRIEF AND EQUIP KIDS WITH INVALUABLE COPING SKILLS THAT ENABLE THEM TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THEIR LIVES. DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN 2020, WE WERE UNABLE TO OPERATE OUR IN-PERSON CAMP BUT WERE ABLE TO CONNECT 1,000 CAMPERS THROUGH VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING. BECAUSE OF THE CANCELLATION OF CAMP, OUR PERCENTAGE OF PROGRAM EXPENSES IS LOWER THAN PREVIOUS YEARS.
THE FOUNDATION PROVIDES BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT TO CHILDREN THROUGH SUMMER CAMPS, YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS AND ON-LINE SUPPORT. IN 2020, EXPERIENCE CAMPS SERVED ALMOST 1,000 CAMPERS THROUGH VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING.
