The Journey and Heart of Bravewave Camp
In 2024, OCD Washington, a state affiliate of the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF), secured a seed grant from Jack Mental Health through their Plant a Camp initiative and partnered with IOCDF to create Bravewave Camp—a therapeutic camp designed for children and teens with OCD and their parents. OCD Washington will partner with Bravewave Collective, LLC, an organization dedicated to helping create innovative, connecting and healthy means for individuals with OCD and related disorders to access high quality mental health services, support, and be part of a community of individuals thriving with or without OCD!
At Bravewave Camp, we are deeply committed to helping kids and teens from diverse cultural backgrounds access high-quality therapeutic activities, build coping skills, and connect with peers who truly understand their experiences. We also aim to foster a sense of community by creating opportunities for campers to give back, help others, and grow together.
Bravewave Camp operates as a non-profit, made possible only through the generous support of local businesses, sponsors, and donors like you. Your contributions—whether through donations or providing essential supplies—make a profound difference in helping us carry out our mission. Every dollar counts in creating a space where children and families can thrive!
