Camp Carey:
Healing Hope for Grieving Children

Our mission is to reach, minister to and begin the healing process for those children who have experienced the loss of a loved one. Camp Carey is a Christian mountain retreat where children ages 5-12 will be counseled, comforted and ministered to through the healing touch of Jesus Christ. The program will bring God's healing to wounded hearts as the participants are surrounded by loving and attentive counselors and staff.

"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you". Ezekiel 36:26

The goal of Camp Carey is to meet the needs of each individual child and caretaker through a variety of programs, including:

  • support groups
  • individual counseling
  • child and caretaker recovery programs
  • activities (i.e. art projects, games, therapy animals, etc.)
  • play therapy
  • challenge courses

Please take a moment to consider how you might be able to help, and to fill out the Camp Carey Support Form.

The creation of Camp Carey has been a lifelong journey...

At age seven, my thirty-nine year-old mother died in a tragic accident. At that time, kids were considered "resilient" and unable to understand or process the loss of a significant loved one. Today we still isolate children from the realities of grief.

But with significant loss, kids attempt to fill the holes or broken places in their hearts with destructive things or relationships. Camp Carey exists to offer grieving children the healing touch of Jesus Christ - the only One who can truly mend bruised and tattered hearts.

Camp Carey's vision is to guide children ages five to twelve through a biblical healing process after they suffer the significant loss of a loved one. We also desire to teach caretakers about their own grief as well as help their child heal and move into a life of eternal purpose, victory, and destiny. My personal journey and passion is to embrace those who grieve with the compassion, reassurance, and loving presence of Jesus, our Comforter and Healer. I invite you to join with us!
