Please reach out to Beth@sweetpeaproject.org with any questions.

Since our very first sibling picnic in the summer of 2011, this has been our favorite community event to put together for you. Giving families, and ourselves, the opportunity to remember the children we hold in our hearts while also reveling in their siblings who fill our lives with wild colors, has been one of the greatest joys and honors for us here at Sweet Pea Project. We’ve had the immense pleasure and privilege to see your kids romping around each summer- at Hands on House and then Lititz Springs Park and then Dutch Wonderland and now Mt Gretna Lake- and we hope all of you will join us out there at the lake for one final picnic this summer. Sunday, June 2. Mt Gretna Lake. We can’t wait to see you there.

As you well know, there is no greater pain for a parent than the pain of outliving their child. But we parents are not the only ones who suffer. The death of a baby can be very difficult on our surviving children, and even our subsequent children. These kids witness their parents wrestling with overwhelming grief, and struggle with their own feelings of sadness and confusion. They deserve a day just to be carefree children, playing with their parents in the sunshine and having fun, and that is what our annual children's events are all about.  

Sweet Pea Project will hold this special event for children who have lost a brother or sister during pregnancy or infancy on SUNDAY, June 2, 2023. Parents are invited to bring their surviving and subsequent children to Mt Gretna Lake in Mt Gretna, PA for a day of family fun.
