Katerpillar Kids Camp
Saturday, September 12 and Sunday, September 13, 2026
The Katerpillar Kids Camp is a camp designed to help children who are dealing with the loss of a loved one. For over 25 years, the camp has helped children in the East Tennessee community experience grief in a supportive environment while making new friends and learning that they are not alone in their experience with loss. This yearly event is in partnership with Mane Support, which uses horses in a therapeutic approach to grief counseling.
