About Comfort Zone Camp

Comfort Zone Camp is a nonprofit 501(c)3 bereavement camp that transforms the lives of children who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling, or primary caregiver. The free camps include confidence building programs and age-based support groups that break the emotional isolation grief often brings. Comfort Zone Camps are offered to children 7-17, and are held year-round in California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Virginia. Comfort Zone plans to expand to Texas in 2011.

Our Mission

Comfort Zone provides grieving children with a voice, a place and a community in which to heal, grow and lead more fulfilling lives.

Our Vision

Comfort Zone envisions a world where grieving children are not forgotten or left to grieve alone, and are supported by a wide community that understands and appreciates them.

Partnerships

Comfort Zone Camp offers partnership opportunities with hospices and other organizations who are interested in bringing our camp program and services to their local area. We offer four camp models, one day through four day overnight. Contact us to discuss bringing Comfort Zone Camp to you via a partnership.

Our Reach

Comfort Zone Camp has hosted campers from 44 States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Our goal is to reach families in all 50 states. We believe in removing all barriers to camp, and assist with travel when necessary.
 

Hello Grief

Comfort Zone developed HelloGrief.org to start a discussion about the impact of loss and build a community of support for those living with loss. Hello Grief offers an online community where you can share and remember loved ones by creating interactive memorial walls, writing blog posts, and connecting in the forums. Hello Grief also posts weekly stories from people living with loss, and coping strategies provided by grief experts.

Comfort Zone Support Groups 

Comfort Zone also hosts support groups for adults and children throughout the year, providing a network of support for the whole family. 

All Comfort Zone Camp services are free of charge due to generous donations from individuals, corporations, civic organizations and grants. Visit our Giving page to learn how you can help.
