After careful deliberation, Camp Erin Philadelphia is currently postponed for 2021-22. We are currently not accepting new camper applications, but please contact us at CampErin@pennmedicine.upenn.edu to receive updates and information regarding rescheduling.
Camp Erin® Philadelphia, a program of the David Bradley Children’s Bereavement Program, is a free weekend bereavement camp 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. Camp Erin Philadelphia was created and is supported in part by Eluna. For more information, please visit elunanetwork.org.
