Camp Widow San Diego

San Diego, California is home to the first ever Camp Widow weekend, and also our longest running camp location. We head to San Diego in the summer months to take advantage of the cool coastal temperatures and resort feel of this bay-front location. Our San Diego location also offers our once-a-year Camp Widow Kids program for those who are widowed and parenting kids between the ages of 5-17. Please see the Camp Widow Kids page for details.

Please note: ADA compliant service animals and certified therapy dogs may be on site throughout this event. No other animals will be permitted.

*Registration Notice: Due to the changes in our programming for 2025, refunds or transfers to future events for registrations to Camp Widow events are not available. Your registration is non-refundable.

*PLEASE NOTE: The hotel block in San Diego is full. There will be no more rooms added to the block.

Once the room block is full you may contact the Marriott to book a room outside of our block if you wish to stay at the host hotel. There are a number of hotels in the area and many within walking distance. You can search in the downtown and gaslamp areas for hotels nearby.

Campers are responsible for making their own reservations. Due to the large number of campers we expect for this program, we have provided a forum within Widowed Village for anyone who would like to roomshare during the event. This forum can be found online here, and please join Widowed Village (it's free!) if you're not already a member.

*COVID-19 Management Plan: 

Each camper assumes the risk in regards to exposure to COVID-19 due to their attendance at our event. We will no longer be requiring proof of vaccination status or proof of a negative test.

If you are feeling sick or exhibiting any COVID-19-like symptoms, or if you have been exposed to COVID-19 within five days of attending camp, we recommend you stay home and contact us at [email protected].

Hotel Commitment to Cleanliness: The Marriott Marquis and Marina Hotel is committed to offering a safe stay for all of their guests. Please reference their updated cleaning policy for more information online here.

Campers are responsible for coordinating their own hotel reservations, and the discounted block of rooms will be included in your registration confirmation email after you have registered for the event.
