2024 Camp Widow® San Diego
2024 Camp Widow® San Diego
Soaring Spirits International CONFERENCE

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, July 19 - Sunday, July 21, 2024 in downtown San Diego.


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 two Camp Widow weekend events each year in the US. 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: Continental breakfast
  • 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 2024 Camp Widow events. We appreciate your understanding, and ask that you consider this policy before completing your registration.


*PLEASE NOTE: The hotel block in San Diego is almost full. There are only a few Friday & Saturday nights left as of 3/21/24. There will be no more rooms added to the block.


Once the room block is full you may contact the Marriott to book a room outside of our block if you wish to stay at the host hotel. There are a number of hotels in the area and many within walking distance. You can search in the downtown and gaslamp areas for hotels nearby.


Campers are responsible for making their own reservations. Due to the large number of campers we expect for this program, we have provided a forum within Widowed Village for anyone who would like to roomshare during the event. This forum can be found online here, and please join Widowed Village (it's free!) if you're not already a member.


*COVID-19 MANAGEMENT POLICY:

Each camper assumes the risk in regards to exposure to COVID-19 due to their attendance at our event. We will no longer be requiring proof of vaccination status or proof of a negative test result.
