Every year, dozens of campers arrive at Katerpillar Kids Camp to overcome the grief of a loss through shared activities with others who have had a similar experience.   Campers in grades 1 through 12 received guided grief counseling to help them cope with and express their feelings about their loss.  At the same time, they enjoy new activities and new friends in a supportive and safe environment with trained volunteers.

Camp is free to participants and transportation is provided.   Katerpillar Kids Camp is funded by a grant from Variety - The Children's Charity of Eastern Tennessee.  Campers, parents and guardians can focus solely on camp activities and the help that children and youth receive to process the loss of a loved one. 

At Katerpillar Kids Camp, many volunteer positions are available.  From clinical group leaders to panel members and camp counselors, we invite you to apply to help at Katerpillar Kids Camp and make a difference for those in need.
