CZC Runs Disney: Comfort Zone Camp is the nation’s largest bereavement camp. Comfort Zone Camps are offered free of charge to children ages 7-17 who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling or primary caregiver. The camps are held year-round in California, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Virginia. CZC plans to expand to Texas in 2011. Comfort Zone Camps create an environment where grieving children can have fun and break the isolation death often brings, while learning valuable coping skills for their daily lives. Everywhere else in their lives, they are “that kid” who lost their mom/dad/sibling. Through being surrounded by so many other people who ‘get it’ about what it is like to lose someone, they are able to make tremendous progress toward coming to peace with their loss. To go somewhere for a whole weekend where no one makes them feel awkward or ashamed for crying or talking about the loss is such a dramatic change from their day-to-day lives, and it is such a gift.
