Run for Kita 5K
All proceeds will go to support Camp Kita
Camp Kita is a week long summer bereavement camp open to children ages 8-17 who are survivors of a loved one's suicide. Held in an idyllic traditional camp setting on the shores of Belgrade Lake in Central Maine, the camp provides all the fun and outdoor experience of any summer camp. Camp Kita staff and volunteers also provide a network of adults and peers that truly understand and support the unique grief that comes with losing a loved one to suicide. Camp Kita is the only program of a small non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the needs of bereaved youth and founded by sibling survivors of suicide loss. The camp tuition remains free through fundraising efforts and the generous support of people who care.
