Suicide Loss Camp Activities

Our goal at camp is to provide a safe space for grieving kids to have fun, meet kids like them, share stories about their loved ones, and learn and develop healthy coping skills. Camp activities include games, arts & crafts, bonfire, and Healing Circles (support groups) where kids can connect with their peers.

The Impact

Campers leave the camp “bubble” transformed with a community, coping skills, and new friends who “get it”

“Anything else I need to know?”

➡️ There is a separate, optional program for parents of campers.
➡️ Limited travel scholarships are available.

In Their Own Words

Kerry Keyes, Camper Parent

“My son’s father died by suicide in 2018; he was 7 years old. Since then, Comfort Zone Camp has been his place to find a community of other kids who share similar experiences, and grieve with kids and caregivers who are there to support him, lift him up, make him laugh, and allow him a safe place to be vulnerable.”

Dylan Levitt, 16 year old Camper

“The overall weekend was amazing, but it was the people there who changed my life. I shared my story on day one because I instantly felt comfortable. I knew that everyone in the room would not judge me and would listen to every word I said. As someone who barely opens up to other people, this was a big deal.

“I look back now with fond memories of that weekend. Yes, there were painful moments but what made them beautiful was that everyone was hurting together. No one was hurting alone.”

Kearns Julien, Big Buddy Volunteer

“For the past five years, I have been honored to be part of my little buddy’s journey as he navigates through life. He has proved inspiring, and I am humbled and grateful for such an opportunity to assist him and watch him grow. 

I love volunteering with an enthusiastic, energized group of campers, staff and other volunteers at A Little Hope Camp. Through healing circles and challenging yet fun courses, campers are given positive support, hope and tools in dealing with their grief at camp and beyond.

ALH camp makes a significant difference in our campers’ lives, and I am fortunate to be involved in the crucial and outstanding work they do.
