Bravewave OCD Summer Camps is a week-long camp designed for kids and adolescents with OCD, offering a unique blend of fun, growth, and clinical treatment (evidence-based exposure and response prevention, or ERP).

The camp will feature daily ERP sessions alongside fun activities and group projects designed to help campers build meaningful connections with one another. It will be personally led this year by the founders of BraveWave Collective (Dr. Welch and Ms. Cui, faculty partners at the University of Washington) along with a team of psychiatrists, clinical psychologists and therapists, and young adults who have lived experience and success with ERP treatment and thriving after an OCD diagnosis.

We plan to offer a Counselor in Training (CIT) program for youth who have had success with ERP treatment and hope to give back to other kids and teens and be part of the vibrant community of people who are thriving (not just surviving) with OCD!

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!

Bravewave Summer Camps are a collaboration with the International OCD Foundation, Bravewave Collective in Seattle, and Jack Mental Health Advocacy.
