About CZC
We’re Comfort Zone Camp and we’re here for grieving kids!
Founded in 1998, we’re the first-ever nonprofit bereavement camp for kids in the US. What started as one small camp in Virginia has grown into a national organization that has transformed the lives of over 27,000 grieving children!
Today, we offer camps and programs for kids, teens, young adults, and parents. We have special camps for suicide loss and overdose loss. No matter how you lost your loved one, you belong here.

History
Comfort Zone Camp was founded in 1998. Our founder and CEO, Lynne Hughes, lost both of her parents by the time she was 12 and created Comfort Zone Camp so that no grieving child would ever feel alone. What began as a small camp in Virginia has grown into a national organization that has served over 27,000 children, always free of charge.
