Camp LIVIN is for anyone who has experienced the loss of a family member by suicide. Family is whoever you define it to be, including close family friends with a minimum, of two and maximum of 10 members per family. Camp activities are designed for school-age children and adults. Younger children are also welcome. Families with young children are encouraged to reach out to our camp team ahead of time for more guidance. Family groups that are only adults are encouraged to consider our adult retreat as an alternative.
Each cabin is made up of 4 sleeping areas that are partitioned off with a pocket door. Each area has 4-5 twin beds. There is a common space in the middle of each cabin with couches, tables, a fireplace and a kitchenette. All cabins are accessible for those with mobility concerns.
Each family gets their own section of a cabin with a bathroom, shower, and sink for each family.
No, camp is created with a specific program that starts on Friday and ends on Sunday. We have designed it this way in order for each participant to get the most benefit from Camp.
Activities will include games, high ropes course, nature hiking, arts and crafts, swimming, waterfront, campfires, and small group activities.
Camp activities go on rain or shine. Many of our activities are held indoors and we can move everything inside if it rains. Please bring your rain gear just in case!
Registration for Camp LIVIN includes your family’s housing, meals and activities for the weekend.
Individuals anticipating accommodations for special needs are encouraged to talk with Camp Directors regarding specific needs. In general, the Campsite is designed to be accessible to those with mobility concerns. The kitchen can accommodate many dietary needs. Camp activities are designed for all ages and abilities and adaptations can be made.
Each family is requested to pay a non-refundable $50.00 registration fee to attend camp. The low cost of Camp LIVIN is made possible by our generous partners and sponsors.
We will ask for a credit card or check payment upfront when registering to simply secure your spot. Nothing will be charged to your card until after camp. In the event of a family canceling within 30 days of the start of camp and/or once registered and your family no-shows the day of Camp, there will be a charge of $300 to your credit card for your family to cover cancellation costs.
The LIVIN Retreats are intentionally designed retreat experiences for adults who have experienced the loss of a loved one to suicide. Set in peaceful settings, these gatherings offer a safe and compassionate space to honor those we’ve lost, process grief, and find connection with others on a similar path.
The retreat activities emphasize reflection, community, and gratitude, creating
opportunities for meaningful connection, contemplation, personal growth and fun!
