Camp Widow® Australia
The first ever Camp Widow® Australia took place in Brisbane at the Stamford Plaza Brisbane on the weekend of Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 May, 2021.
More than 120 widowed people travelled from around Australia for the weekend program, that is based on the same principles as the full event currently offered in the USA and Canada.
Australian Camp Widow® was also supported by social-based networking events on the Friday evening, Saturday evening and Sunday lunch, to allow attendees to form support connections in addition to the presentations and workshop sessions included in the program.

Why we help
First Light was started by young widowed people, for young widowed people. When we all found ourselves facing the loss of our spouse we searched for help and support but found this was lacking.
So, we created the organisation that we wish existed when we needed it most in the hope that it would help those who would follow behind us.
Our vision
Our vision is for a world where young widowed people live full and happy lives, while celebrating their love for their departed spouse in a community of acceptance and support.
