Children ages 6-16 who have experienced a loss through death are welcomed at Camp Kaniksu.

Spring Memorial
As spring approaches, we are reminded that even after the dreariest of winters, there is always hope for a sunny day. In the spirit of hope and the comfort of remembrance, we encourage all members of our community to reflect on the memories of the loved ones we have lost over the past year as we share treasured memories, words of encouragement, music, and light refreshments.
