Healing Little Hurting Hearts.

A ministry that brings hope to grieving children through energetic camp-like settings.

Our Ministry Focus

Summer Camp

Camp Agape’s Summer Camp Program is a bereavement camp where children are guided through a therapeutic healing process.

After-School Programs

The Footprints Program is a community-wide program serving children and their families experiencing grief and loss.

Family Retreat

At Family Retreat, families can walk through the grief process together by engaging in side-by-side activities and therapeutic opportunities.

Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2

The Transforming Power Of Camp

Over the years, we have discovered the power of blending therapeutic activities with high-energy camp fun. Carefully sequenced activities allow children who have been affected by cases of suicide, murder, drunk driving, drug overdoses (and sadly more) have permission to feel free to play and laugh again.

Any willing person who has experienced loss can easily volunteer to be trained to help these children. During this time, you will meet and serve with others that understand you, and together we will experience and witness the miracles of healing hurting hearts.

Transforming lives. That’s the power of camp.

Has grief stolen a piece of your heart?

If you’ve lost someone significant in your life, then you know what it’s like to carry the daily burden and loneliness of grief. No one—especially a child—should have to experience this kind of deep hurt alone.

We feel what you feel. That’s why for the past 22 years we have been working to bring healing and hope to little hurting hearts in unique, camp-like settings.

What others are saying about Camp Agape

  • I had reservations about becoming a volunteer. I didn’t think I was equipped for the challenge. But my experience was nothing like I expected. The training was excellent, and other veteran men there supported me. I felt prepared when I met my camper, and my confidence on the last day increased tremendously. The experience helped my grief journey. Six years later, I’m still volunteering!

  • The camp helped me cope with my grief as a kid, and I felt it in my heart to give back and be a volunteer buddy. I knew my story of loss could help another child just like the volunteer Buddy who helped me as a kid. God continues to use the volunteer experience to heal my hurts. I’ll sign up to volunteer again and again.

    Cooper B.

  • I had two challenges to overcome: first, making the time in my busy schedule, and second, overcoming my fear of not knowing if I was equipped to help a child. But I’m glad I said, “Yes.” The experience made me feel like my grief had a purpose. Finding the time in my schedule to stop and help a child was worth it. And it helped me, too.
