For children grieving the death of a loved one, summer can be especially challenging, but Camp Nabi offers a safe space where healing and hope take root. Hosted by Chesapeake Life Center, this beloved weekend overnight grief camp returns Aug. 7 to 9 at Arlington Echo Outdoor Education Center in Millersville, Maryland, combining comfort, connection and classic summer fun.

Open to children ages 6 to 18 who have experienced the death of a loved one, Camp Nabi provides a supportive environment with a full team of grief counselors and trained volunteers. Campers engage in activities focused on memorializing loved ones, learning coping skills in small groups and using integrative arts to express grief. Of course, classic camp experiences like swimming, field games, roasting marshmallows and ropes courses are also part of the weekend.

To ensure access for families across the Chesapeake Life Center service area, free transportation is provided from one location in each of the counties served: Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, and Prince George’s. The cost is $100 per camper, with a limited number of scholarships available thanks to community donations.
