The Elizabeth Hospice on Monday announced it is accepting applications for its annual Camp Erin, an overnight weekend camp for grieving children.

This weekend summer camp is open to children and teens ages 6 to 17 who are grieving from the death of someone close to them. This year’s camp will be held June 3 to 5 in Julian. This free camp experience combines traditional, high-energy camp activities with grief support and education.

Camp Erin San Diego is part of the largest national network of bereavement camps in the country established by The Moyer Foundation. The Foundation’s mission is to provide comfort, hope and healing to children affected by loss and family addiction.

“Camp Erin San Diego attendees will discover the treasure of peer support and learn healthy outlets and strategies that they can take home,” said Liz Sumner, director of the Center for Compassionate Care of The Elizabeth Hospice.
