What Our Parents Say

I couldn't be happier with this program. How did Isabella make out? Let's just say she's been crying ever since we left camp.

She's already requesting to connect with her CZC buddy TOMORROW.

What Our Partners Say

Since 2012, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation's Partnership with the Comfort Zone Camp and their professional, compassionate staff has provided the unique opportunity for children and stepchildren of firefighters who have died in the line-of-duty to meet other children from across the country who have experienced a similar loss. The camp atmosphere of healing helps our campers better understand their grief while learning skills to cope with their loss in everyday life.
