FAQs
-
We welcome returning and new volunteers to join us at Camp Healing Tree weekend or our Day Camps each year! If interested, the first step would be to complete a volunteer application.. 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 (e.g., Facilitator, Camper Buddy and Care Team) will require completion of an in-person Facilitator Training before camp weekend. If you have already completed an in-person Facilitator Training, you will be able to indicate this on your application.

Attend as a Camper
Camp Healing Tree Weekend is an opportunity for grieving youth ages 7-17 to be with friends 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.
