Welcome to Brave Minds Camp

Brave Minds Camp is a therapeutic summer camp for youth with anxiety and/or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, sponsored by OCD Pennsylvania and Jack Mental Health Advocacy. Our mission is to provide a supportive, fun, and evidence-based environment where campers can learn skills, build confidence, and engage in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) treatment led by licensed mental health professionals.

Need-based scholarships are available for families demonstrating financial need.

Therapy

Campers receive support rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for anxiety and OCD. Activities are structured by licensed mental health professionals with specialized training in anxiety and OCD.

Our camp fosters connection, confidence, and understanding. Campers are surrounded by peers who “get it,” helping them feel less alone while building skills together in a compassionate setting.

Alongside ERP work, campers participate in creative and team-based activities designed to practice bravery in real-life situations — all while having fun in a safe, supportive environment.

Support our Mission

Brave Minds Camp relies on community support to keep camp accessible for families. Your donation helps provide need-based scholarships, program materials, and resources that allow campers to receive specialized, evidence-based  treatment in a supportive environment.
