Loved ones came to pick up their teens… and witnessed something that touched their hearts. 💜
Today’s closing ceremony of Teen Camp Grin Again was more than an ending. It was also a celebration of 20 years of this incredible camp.
Loved ones sat and watched a journey unfold through photos… from the very first day to today. Smiles that started shy. Laughter that grew louder. Connections that formed quietly, then deeply.
What they saw wasn’t just a slideshow… it was healing. It was courage. It was their teens learning how to carry grief without carrying it alone.
In a quiet moment together, the wooden lanterns our teens created all week were lit alongside their parents… each one holding a story, a memory, and a love that continues to shine.
As families gathered and shared a meal together, we’re so grateful to Union Square Credit Union and IBEW Local 681 for feeding and serving our camp families at today’s closing ceremony.
We are so grateful to every teen who chose to be here this week.
Your courage to show up, to share, and to support one another inspires us more than words can say.
While we hope we taught you something along the way… the truth is, you taught us even more about strength, honesty, and what healing can look like when no one has to walk alone.
For 20 years, Camp Grin Again has been a place of hope and healing… and that legacy continues with each and every camper.
Until next year, teen campers! This is not goodbye.
