Beanie Feldstein

Yeah, I was going to say your wedding, there was a whole, your camp friend table, right?

Exactly.

And my parents met at summer camp as teenagers.

So camp is a huge part, maybe hard work, generosity, camp is like a huge part of the Feldstein way.

And so I was like, camp and grief and children, like, what am I watching right now?

And it was from an account called Experience Camps.

And I immediately did the deepest dive.

And I watched this short documentary they have on their website.

I did a deep, thorough dive of the website.

And basically the organization is a nonprofit that sends children that have experienced the death of a parent or a sibling or a primary caregiver to camp for one week, completely no cost.

And every child there has experienced that as well.

And so not only are you getting people out of their, kids, not people, out of their environment and putting on an amazing one week activity for them, but they're surrounded by

by people that get that and understand that and it's Monica it makes me want to cry like it is the most special week of my year the way that we are able to exist in joy and grief at the same time is something that I wish all of our society could feel and could get to when it comes to grief and I think

A big part of experience camps is changing the narrative around loss and grief for these kids so that they can grow up in a society that's better than the one we currently have when it comes to talking about death.

It's a great question.

So yeah, I skipped this part, which is that I reached out to the organization and they were like, you should come volunteer.

And so I go once a year for a week.

I live in the bunk with the kids.

I'm like everything a camp counselor.

Those kids are so lucky.
