August 31st, 2025, the Climb for the Grieving Kids Campaign donated $1,700 to Experience Camp, a free one-week camp for girls and boys who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling, or primary caregiver. These camps are designed to be a safe environment where kids can explore their grief with peers and counselors who get it. Both Stella and Conor, her older brother, have been affiliated with the camp for 9 years.

This summer, Stella had the privilege of returning as a counselor for the first time. The week was full of Taylor Swift dance parties, friendship bracelets, and reading aloud Captain Underpants bedtime stories.

Additionally, Stella brought brand new stuffed animals for each camper in her bunk to take home. 

Experience Camp is a reminder that grief does not have to be an isolated journey.
