The TAPS National Military Survivor Seminar and Good Grief Camp are offered to those grieving the loss of a loved one in service to America at minimal cost.

Adult Registration Fee: $195.00 per adult

This fee includes materials, workshops, meals, ground transportation, a TAPS t-shirt and special events.

Good Grief Camp Fee: $75.00 per child

This fee provides materials, meals, ground transportation, TAPS t-shirt, and TAPS Backpack. In addition, the $75.00 would cover daycare services for our youngest survivors.

Registration fees are only refundable until May 7th. 

Hotel Reservations: $125 per night

Hotel costs are not provided by TAPS for the National Seminar and reservations must be made directly with the hotel. The cost for a hotel room is $125 a night at either the Crystal Gateway Marriott or the Crystal City Marriott.

We do understand that circumstances may, from a cost standpoint, make attending the Seminar difficult. We do offer regional seminar across the country at which there are no registration fees, and lodging and meals are provided at no charge. To see the complete list of upcoming regional seminars, please visit the TAPS event calendar.

Scholarships Available

If you find the cost of attending the seminar to be more than you can afford, we offer, based on a needs assessment, scholarships to assist in covering the costs of registration fees. The budget for these scholarships is limited and therefore, only those who have directly lost a loved one and who have significant financial need will be eligible for the scholarships. Preference will be given to those who were not beneficiaries of their loved one’s SGLI. Submit a registration scholarship request.
