Camp Erin-Philadelphia: A Camp for Grieving Children
Camp Erin-Philadelphia is a weekend overnight camp for children who have experienced the death of a significant person in their life, such as a parent, sibling, other family member or friend. The camp combines traditional, fun, high-energy camp activities with grief education and support.
At Camp Erin-Philadelphia, each camper has the opportunity to remember their loved one, develop grief skills and enjoy a positive camp experience. The camp is staffed by licensed social workers/counselors and trained community volunteers.
To learn more, visit the David Bradley Children's Bereavement Program web site, part of Penn Wissahickon Hospice. Camp Erin-Philadelphia was developed in partnership with The Moyer Foundation and Diamond Ridge Camps.
