Young children who lose a parent do not always have a safe, comfortable place to share their struggles with their peers. C.O.P.S. Kids Camp offers them that opportunity through age-appropriate grief counseling sessions with licensed mental health professionals.

At C.O.P.S. Young Adults Camp, campers will be roomed in cabins with other attendees their age. This will encourage them to bond with peers who can truly relate and understand what they are going through.

C.O.P.S. Co-Workers Retreat is designed for surviving co-workers to receive support from other law enforcement officers who have experienced a line-of-duty death.  You will get the chance to discuss any challenges you may be facing, whether these challenges relate to your loss or your current work environment.

C.O.P.S. Co-Workers for Couples Retreat will give couples the opportunity to discuss their grief and gain a better understanding of what each person is going through.  Many times, surviving co-workers have a difficult time explaining their feelings to family and friends after losing a fellow law enforcement officer.

C.O.P.S. Extended Family Retreat is designed to help participants address their own grief and meet peers who understand.  It provides a stress-free environment, where attendees can unwind and enjoy indoor and outdoor activities.  While at the retreat, participants can meet licensed mental health professionals for group sessions and private one-on-one counseling.

Surviving Fiancés, Significant Others, and Life Partners have to cope with the fact that the plans they made for the future have drastically changed with the loss of their officer. They frequently struggle with the missed opportunities they face throughout their grief journey. 

Outward Bound is an adventure-based program designed to inspire character development, self-discovery, compassion for others, and to actively engage in creating a better world.  The goal of this C.O.P.S. program is to challenge surviving children to overcome the obstacles and use the principles they learn in their daily lives after losing their parent to a line-of-duty death.

Losing a child can be the most devastating thing for a parent to experience, especially in a sudden and traumatic death.  After the loss of their child, surviving parents are left to cope with their own grief while still trying to support other family members. At the C.O.P.S. Parents Retreat, you will also be surrounded by other parents who can understand the gravity of your loss.

Surviving siblings often put aside their own grief to help the surviving parents, spouses, and children of their fallen brother or sister. At the C.O.P.S. Siblings Retreat, siblings will have the opportunity to express themselves with peers who know how they feel.

After losing their spouse to a line-of-duty death, surviving spouses are faced with altered life plans and learning to live alone.  At the C.O.P.S. Spouses Retreat, you will spend the weekend bonding and receiving support from other peers who genuinely understand how you feel.

For a surviving spouse, beginning a new relationship and allowing yourself to love again can be difficult.  When you do find love again, that person may have difficulty supporting you in your grief while living in what may feel like the shadow of a hero.

C.O.P.S. Spouses for Couples Retreat gives couples a safe, comfortable place to recognize each other’s struggles.
