Comfort Zone provides grieving children with a voice, a place, and a community in which to heal, grow, and lead more fulfilling lives.
Comfort Zone Camp is a nonprofit 501(c)3 bereavement organization that transforms the lives of children who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling, or primary caregiver. Our programs are free of charge and include confidence building activities and age-based support groups that break the emotional isolation grief often brings.
Comfort Zone’s programs are offered to children ages 7-17, and their families for the family programs. We also offer young adult programs for 18-25 year olds. Held year-round across the country, our primary locations are California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina and Virginia (HQ). We also partner with organizations to serve their local or specific communities through our Partnership and Community by Design Programs.
