There are two types of bereavement camps for adults: One type is a standalone camp just for adults or young adults that is often, but not always, not free. The other type is for the parents or guardians of kids or teens who are also attending a camp that is being held at the same time but separately; those camps are usually free. Both types of bereavement camps are listed on this page. Contact me or add a comment below if you know of an adult or young adult camp that isn’t on the list. If you’re interested in grief camps for kids and teens or families, check out the below links:
