Conference Center in Cascade, Idaho

Camp Erin® is a three-day, overnight bereavement camp

Facilitated by professional staff and trained volunteers from Because Kids Grieve, Camp Erin South Idaho is offered

Camp Erin combines grief education and emotional support with fun, traditional activities. Campers are provided a safe environment to explore their grief, learn essential coping

grief experiences in creative ways through art projects, time
to talk and share, outdoor games and challenge courses, participate in memorial activities and even share
a campfire experience! Transportation for campers will
be provided by Because Kids Grieve from our designated
drop off and pick up sites. Camp Erin is FREE to all campers through generous support from Eluna, donations from local corporations and other area organizations.

November is Children's Grief Awareness Month
Bereaved children are often referred to as the "forgotten mourners". Many bereaved children feel isolated in their grief, unaware that they are not alone. Children's Grief Awareness Month is an opportunity to tell children they are not forgotten and that there is support, hope and healing to be found.
