NASHUA — The Revive Recovery Resource Center recently announced the reopening of Camp Mariposa, a transformational prevention and mentoring program designed for children ages 9-17 who have been impacted by the substance use of a family member.

The program provides a safe, supportive environment where youth can build resilience, develop coping skills and connect with caring adult mentors and peers who understand their experiences.

Camp Mariposa is a nationally recognized evidence-informed program that combines traditional camp experiences with year-round mentoring and prevention education. Through fun, healing-centered activities such as team building, recreation, arts, and leadership development, youth gain confidence while learning healthy ways to navigate the challenges often associated with family substance use.

This local program is being funded through the generous support of Eluna, the national organization behind Camp Mariposa and other no-cost youth support programs serving families impacted by grief or addiction.

“Too many children silently carry the weight of addiction in their homes,” said Jessica Carter, executive director of the Revive Recovery Resource Center. “Camp Mariposa gives young people something every child deserves — hope, connection and the chance to simply be kids while building the tools they need to thrive.”

The program will serve families across Southern New Hampshire and reflects Revive’s commitment to breaking cycles of trauma, strengthening families, and creating brighter futures for the next generation. Participation in Camp Mariposa is free for accepted youth and families.
