Youth Bereavement Camp

Pictures from the 2025 Camp

The Mark Wandall Foundation brings free youth bereavement camps to the state of Florida through a partnership with Comfort Zone Camp. At camp, children and teens connect with peers who understand their unique experience. Campers are paired 1:1 with their very own “Big Buddy” volunteer for a weekend of healing and empowerment.
