Nearly 40 campers attended Camp Solace on the beautiful north shore of Lake Tahoe, September 10-12. While enjoying swimming, kayaking, playing volleyball, and other camp activities, they were also encouraged to participate in the grieving process through sharing memories of their loved ones, writing in journals, creating art, writing poems and other ways that felt most comfortable to them.
“At camp there are no outsiders. While everyone might be different, just showing up gives us something in common,” says volunteer counselor Katelyn Cartwright. “For three whole days the people you surround yourself with actually want to hear about your loved one. For three whole days death is not taboo. You talk about it, you ask questions, and you can relate to everyone because of it.”
Special Camp Solace thanks go to: Reno Rodeo Foundation, Sierra Professional Insurance, Washoe County School Psychologists, William G. McGowan Charitable Fund, Inc. and Ebara International.
