Camp Widow Presenter Books
Soaring Spirits' flagship program, Camp Widow, has been supported by a huge group of volunteer presenters who have shared their personal experiences, their wisdom, and their hearts with our community at any of our camp events. These books are all written by an author who has donated their time to at least one camp weekend. We list their books, which have not been individually vetted, to thank them for the generous support and to offer a broader audience access to the lessons they've taught onsite at Camp Widow.
