It is a weekend-long experience filled with traditional, fun, camp activities combined with grief education and emotional support -- facilitated by grief professionals and trained volunteers. Refer to the attached APPLICATION or for the VOLUNTEER form for additional information.
Camp Erin is funded in part by The Moyer Foundation, which was established by Major League, 2008 World Series-winning All-Star Pitcher, Jamie Moyer and his wife Karen, in 2000. Since its inception, The Moyer Foundation has granted support over 170 non-profit organizations that help children in severe distress, including the Spencer Hospice Foundation.
