Camp Erin® is the largest national bereavement program for youth who are grieving the death of a significant person in their lives. Children and teens ages 6 to 17 attend a weekend camp experience that combines grief education and emotional support with fun, traditional camp activities. Led by bereavement professionals and caring volunteers, campers are provided a safe environment to explore their grief, learn essential coping skills, and make friends with peers who are also grieving. Additional services are offered to support the whole family outside of the camp weekend. Through a network of partnerships with bereavement programs in local communitites across the US and Canada, Camp Erin brings hope and healing to thousands of children and families annually and is offered at no cost to families.
Camp Erin is free thanks to the fundraising efforts of Carefor and our volunteers. Applications are accepted on a first come, first served basis as space is limited.
