You Don’t Have to Grieve Alone
Check out our Different Camp Experiences
2027 Camp
Information Coming Soon!
This is an opportunity for grieving youth ages 7-17 to be with peers their age who have also experienced the death of someone close to them. Connecting with others with shared experiences helps us know that we are not alone in our grief.

Volunteer at Camp
We Need Someone Like You
Camp isn’t just games, and crafts. It’s where kids like me, whose sister, brother, parent, or friend has died, can feel like ourselves again.
You don’t have to be a grief counselor or an expert. Just show up ready to paint, toss water balloons, talk if we want, or sit with us so we know we’re not alone. Just be someone we can count on.
You help us laugh again and feel safe enough to cry. Camps are day-long adventures. All of them are unforgettable for kids like me and people like you.

Once an application is received, a Brooke’s Place team member will reach out to review the next steps needed. Volunteer roles that interact directly with campers will require completion of an in-person training before camp. If you have already completed an in-person Facilitator Training, you will be able to indicate this on your application.

Yes, all volunteers will complete a criminal history background check before camp.
