The Weekend Overnight Young Adult Retreat program is designed for participants to join peers in a rustic camp retreat setting where discussions and activities are facilitated by a trained grief specialist. Throughout the weekend, participants take part in conversations surrounding their loss and are able to share how grief changes as they reach life's milestones.
During this training you will meet Comfort Zone staff and learn what to expect at camp and how our program impacts grieving children. You will receive education about childhood bereavement, as well as tips on how to be successful in whichever volunteer role you are selected to fill at in-person or virtual camps.
The training will be held via Zoom and is interactive. This is a two-night training; you must attend both nights and are required to be present with audio and video capabilities.
