This summer, Bo’s Place has been thrilled to partner with Experience Camps, an award-winning national nonprofit that transforms the lives of grieving children through summer camp programs and innovative, year-round initiatives. Through compassion, connection, and play, Experience Camps allow grieving children to embody a life full of hope and possibility. By amplifying their voices, we are creating a more grief-sensitive culture.
Experience Camps partnered with Bo’s Place to offer three unique Meetups for grieving families in the Houston area. Meetups are free, in-person, community events where grief is named out loud and held with care. Designed for grieving youth (ages 8–18) and their caregivers, these gatherings create space for connection, understanding, and making memories.
On June 28th, families gathered at Urban Chef for a hands-on cooking experience, where they prepared homemade pasta and sauces together before sharing the meal they created. The event encouraged teamwork, conversation, and connection while creating lasting memories around the table.
On July 18th, families gathered at Mad Potter, and had the opportunity to connect, share stories, and express their creativity by painting a special pottery keepsake to take home.
On August 29th, registered families will gather for a fun-filled evening at Shell Energy Stadium to cheer on the Houston Dynamo as they take on the San Jose Earthquakes. The evening will provide families with a chance to create lasting memories while enjoying the excitement of the game. There are still limited spots available, and you can register at experiencecamps.org/meetups.
