Adam's Place

What Adam's Place does

Adam's Place is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded circa 2010 and headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, that delivers free peer-based grief support to children, teens, adults, and caregivers experiencing loss. Its core program, Camp Cope, operates structured age-appropriate peer support groups led by trained volunteer facilitators using a trauma-informed curriculum, currently delivered in-person at Summerlin Hospital Medical Center and Centennial Hills Hospital Medical Center and virtually through the monthly Third Thursday Adult Grief Support Group. The organization was founded by supporters of grieving families and, in its 15th year of operation, expanded its intellectual property footprint with the 2025 publication of the Camp Cope for Kids book series (The Essential Activity Guide and The Facilitator Guide) and the launch of an Education & Training Marketplace offering on-demand recorded webinars, live webinars, and an annual Children's Grief & Trauma National Conference with continuing education credits approved by Nevada's Department of Education, Board of Examiners for Social Work, and Board of Examiners for MFT & CPC. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors and led by CEO Kelly Thomas-Boyers; it employs 1-10 staff, supplemented by a trained volunteer facilitator corps (34 active volunteers contributed 953.5 service hours in 2024-2025) and credentialed clinicians including Dr. Theresa Fay-Hillier, Dr. Paul Thomas Clements, and Dr. Miranda Ramirez. Adam's Place generates revenue through individual donations, foundation and corporate grants, fundraising events (Vintage & Vibes gala, Chip in for Children Golf Tournament, Power of the Purse auction, Mrs. Claus Tea), and paid professional development offerings, with all core Camp Cope programs provided free to families. Its go-to-market is community-led, relying on word-of-mouth and referral partnerships with 27 Clark County School District schools, two hospital hosts, and hospice/community non-profits.

Direct peers

• Camp Kesem: Camp Kesem is a national nonprofit running free summer camps and year-round peer support for children and teens affected by a parent's cancer. Its volunteer-driven model, age-segmented programming, and reliance on donations and corporate partners closely mirror Adam's Place's Camp Cope structure.
• Experience Camps: Experience Camps is a national nonprofit offering free summer camps and year-round programming for children grieving the death of a parent or sibling. Its volunteer-driven, free-to-families model and age-appropriate peer support structure parallel Camp Cope.
• GriefShare: GriefShare operates the largest network of church- and community-based grief support groups in the U.S., using a standardized curriculum and trained facilitators. Like Adam's Place, it is a free, peer-led group model, though it is broadly faith-affiliated and serves all ages rather than specializing in children.
• The Dougy Center: The Dougy Center in Portland, Oregon is widely recognized as the pioneer of the peer-based children's grief support group model. It is the most operationally comparable organization to Adam's Place: both run free, facilitated peer groups for children, teens, and families, train facilitators, and publish curricula used nationally.
• Kids Konnected: Kids Konnected provides free peer support programs for children and teens who have lost a parent, primarily to cancer, through local groups and a national network. Like Adam's Place, it focuses on age-segmented, facilitated peer support for grieving youth.
• Bo's Place: Bo's Place in Houston provides free peer-based grief support groups for children, families, and adults, with a model and mission directly comparable to Adam's Place. Both nonprofits emphasize trained volunteer facilitators and community partnerships with schools and hospices.
• Comfort Zone Camp: Comfort Zone Camp runs free bereavement camps and programs for children and teens who have lost a parent or sibling, using a volunteer facilitator model. It is closely comparable to Adam's Place in mission, beneficiary population, and volunteer-based delivery.
• Ele's Place: Ele's Place is a Michigan-based nonprofit offering free, ongoing peer support groups for grieving children, teens, and their families using a facilitated group model. Its age-segmented, free-to-families approach and reliance on trained volunteers make it one of the closest operating analogs to Camp Cope.

Others

• National Alliance for Grieving Children: The National Alliance for Grieving Children is a membership and advocacy organization supporting children's bereavement programs across the U.S. It is not a direct service peer but is highly relevant as an ecosystem partner, convener, and referral source for organizations like Adam's Place.

Broad incumbents

• Hospice of the Valley Journey Program: Hospice of the Valley is one of the largest U.S. hospices and operates the Journey bereavement program, providing grief support groups including those for children and families. It offers overlapping services to Adam's Place but as part of a much larger hospice provider, not a child-grief specialist.
