Hello Adam’s Place Family!
September is here, and that means the wait is over—Camp Cope begins this month! We’re so grateful to have each of you joining us as we welcome new and returning kids and families into the safe, supportive space you help create. The start of a new season is always filled with big feelings: excitement, nerves, and sometimes uncertainty—for participants and volunteers.
A helpful reminder as you step back into group: you don’t have to have all the answers. What matters most is showing up, listening, and holding space. Children and teens often remember how you made them feel far more than what was said. A gentle presence, a validating nod, or an encouraging word can go a long way in helping them feel safe to share.
This month, as we dive into our sessions, let’s remember:
🌱 Patience—every child’s grief journey looks different.
🎨 Creativity—sometimes play and art speak louder than words.
💙 Compassion—your empathy is the bridge to connection.
Thank you for being the heart of Camp Cope. Together, we’re giving kids the tools not just to cope, but to grow.
"Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths." – Etty Hillesum

Camp Cope is back! 🌟
This month we officially kick off a new season of Camp Cope, where children, teens, and caregivers come together to find comfort, connection, and hope after loss. Each session gives families a safe space to share their experiences, build resilience, and discover they are not alone in their grief journey.
If you know someone who could benefit from Camp Cope, please share this resource—sometimes a simple invitation can make all the difference. 💛

Together, we’re creating a community of healing.
