Making connections, lasting friendships
At Camp Erin® Twin Cities, the focus is on illuminating the importance of being connected to a community that understands. Professionals and highly trained volunteers of Brighter Days Family Grief Center work to combine all the fun and excitement of camp with time to connect with other kids who have experienced the death of a significant person.
Traditionally at Camp Erin, along with campfires, camp songs, games, and crafts, we incorporate education about grief and allow ample time for sharing with each other. During this special camp experience, campers develop genuine connections and lasting friendships while learning how to balance joy and sorrow.
