At America’s Camp in the Berkshires of Massachusetts kids who lost parents to the horrible events on 9/11 congregate every summer to do what typical campers do, sing songs, canoe, build close friendships. In the earlier years it was harder for them to talk about their loss, but they knew they shared a strong common bond. Older kids have now become counselors and the youngest campers were born after the tragedy took place. It’s a place that you hope will not be needed anymore after those last children grow up, except perhaps for reunions.
