Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the upside with Jordan, the dose of good news.
Because it's a big world out there. It's summer camp season,
and I wanted to tell this story about one particular camp,
comfort Zone Camp here on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. It
takes place two weekends a year. The first was in June,
the second coming up in September. The senior Regional director
of comfort Zone Camp says, quote, we provide weekend grief

(00:22):
camps where kids get to learn how to cope and
heal after a family member has died. There's no cost
for comfort Zone Camp, and along with the healing activities
after grief, comfort Zone offers traditional camp fund sports and swimming,
arts and crafts, you name it. Regional director Christa says,
we want the kids to have a good time and
just be kids again, but we also give them the

(00:42):
opportunities to remember and say goodbye. Comfort Zones programs are
offered to kids age seven to seventeen, along with young
adults for eighteen to twenty five year olds, and even
separate parent and guardian programs. You can find out more
