Camp Willow’s Light
Camp Willow’s Light is a youth-centered and family focused retreat for children and families who have lost a loved one within the past three years. Named in memory of our pediatric patient, Willow “brought light, laughter, and love to all who knew her. Her smile was contagious, her spirit unbreakable…her light shines on.”
Bringing Light to Healing Hearts.
Camp Willow’s Light provides space for play, laughter, and meaningful memory-making, along with the tears that may come. We welcome parents and caregivers into the experience, because research shows their presence is an important part of a child’s grief journey.
Light That Never Fades
From interactive activities to meaningful conversations, every moment at Camp Willow’s Light helps children and their families navigate grief with compassion and encouragement. Take a closer look at the difference this experience can make.
Our Approach
Our camp curriculum, designed by Certified Child Life Specialists, offers activities that support children and teens ages 5 to 18, along with their parents or caregivers, as they navigate loss and grief.

Meet Willow
Our camp is named in honor and in memory of a courageous young girl, Willow. Willow was a patient of our Hands of Hope pediatric program. She touched the lives of everyone she met with her spirit, smile, and shining light. It is our privilege to carry her light forward to other children and families through Camp Willow’s Light.
