About Camp Braveheart
Grief can feel isolating, especially for children and teens. Camp Braveheart Family Workshop provides a welcoming space where families can remember the person they love, connect with others who understand, and learn healthy ways to navigate grief together.
Our workshop is led by licensed bereavement counselors, social workers, therapists, and specially trained volunteers.
For more than 30 years, Camp Braveheart has supported children and families throughout Northeast Georgia. While this year’s program has been reimagined as a one-day family workshop, our mission remains the same—to ensure no one grieves alone.
