At the Will Trippley Foundation, we empower children to process grief, navigate life after loss, and reconnect with joy through meaningful and creative experiences. Our free programs are designed to support children and families impacted by death, incarceration, abandonment, addiction, or divorce—providing healing-centered care through both in-person and virtual formats.
Camp Encouragement offers a safe, fun, and supportive space for children to express themselves, build community, and explore new ways of coping. Through art, outdoor adventures, peer connection, and guided activities, campers learn how to navigate difficult emotions and find strength in shared experiences.
We’re currently gathering interest for Camp Encouragement 2026. Dates have not yet been confirmed, but the program will take place in Chester, Pennsylvania during the summer.
We also hope to launch a new one-week session just for teens ages 13–17, expanding our offerings to support older youth on their healing journey.
