2022 Camp Widow® Tampa
2022 Camp Widow® Tampa
Soaring Spirits International CONFERENCE
Fri, March 18, 2022 @ 08:00 AM — Sun, March 20, 2022 @ 12:00 PM (EDT)
Event Banner
THIS EVENT IS 100% FREE!

Camp Widow® is a unique and incredible experience created by Soaring Spirits International that provides both practical tools and relevant resources for widowed persons rebuilding their lives in the aftermath of the death of a spouse or partner. Built for those who are widowed, by those who are widowed, the Camp Widow event provides understanding, community, and hope. This Camp Widow event will be held from Friday, March 18 - Sunday, March 20, 2022 in downtown Tampa.


The most important thing that Camp Widow provides to the widowed people who attend is an in-person community of others who are making their way through widowhood one day at a time. Campers come from around the world to meet other widowed men and women face-to-face, and to experience the camaraderie that this event creates.


You might imagine these gatherings are morose, but you will find that the truth is quite the contrary. Among peers, lifted up by understanding, and validated in the uniqueness of every person’s grief recovery…the mood at Camp Widow is hopeful, positive, and uplifting. Camp Widow is a life changing experience for widowed men and women; we’d love to share this hope-filled weekend with you, or someone you love!


Soaring Spirits holds three Camp Widow weekend events and three, one-day Camp Widow Pop-Up events each year. Offering a community of understanding and support, Camp Widow is an inclusive, secular event focused on hope and healing through the grieving process. 


Your conference fee for Camp Widow® will include the following:

  • Friday: Access to a full day of workshops, discussions, and intensive seminars
  • One ticket to the Friday evening Welcome Reception
  • Saturday: Keynote address
  • Saturday: Access to a full day of workshops, discussions, and intensive seminars
  • One ticket to the Soaring Spirits Semi-formal Banquet
  • Sunday: Closing workshop and one ticket to our Farewell Breakfast buffet


*Registration Notice: Due to the unprecedented challenges associated with planning in-person events safely during this time, we will be unable to offer refunds for registrations to Camp Widow events. We will be happy to transfer your registration to another event or offer a donation receipt if you choose not to attend. We appreciate your understanding, and ask that you consider this policy before completing your registration.


*COVID-19 MANAGEMENT POLICY:

Onsite Protocol:

In order to create a safe physical space that supports the safe emotional space for which Camp Widow is known, we are asking each camper to bring a COVID-19 at home test (If you are unable to find one in your area, we will have a limited number of tests available for sale onsite) which you will self-administer just prior to entering the registration area for Camp Widow. The first step of the onsite registration process will be showing your self-administered negative test to our health check team. You will then be provided with a wristband confirming that you’ve gone through the health check process and are ready to proceed with checking in for the remainder of the event.


All attendees, staff, volunteers, and guests regardless of vaccination status will be required to show proof of a negative COVID-19 self-administered test prior to entering the event.


Pre-Camp Suggestion:

We suggest that all campers, regardless of vaccine status, administer an at-home test prior to travelling to Tampa to avoid the complications that would occur with a positive test. Please come to Camp prepared with a contingency plan should you happen to test positive for COVID-19 once onsite. Each camper will be responsible for themselves should they need to quarantine or be unable to attend Camp Widow due to a positive test result.


Possible Additions to Onsite Protocol:

This is our current health safety plan. Please note that this protocol may change should the virus status change prior to the event. We are grateful for your cooperation as we do our best to ensure a safe space for our Camp Widow community.
