Camp Erin Set for September to Help Grieving Youths

Friday-Sunday, September 19-21, 2025
The Adirondacks

Losing a loved one is hard, even for adults, but for children who may not yet understand, the sudden loss of a significant person in their lives can be too much to bear. To support these youth, The Community Hospice offers Camp Erin, an annual bereavement weekend held in the Adirondacks to help young people learn to cope with loss. Children and teens ages 6 – 17 who have lost a significant person in their lives are eligible. The program combines grief education and emotional support with fun camp activities, like hiking, canoeing, star-gazing, making s’mores, and a special luminary ceremony to honor their loved ones. Facilitated by professional bereavement counselors and caring volunteers, campers are provided a safe environment where they can explore their feelings, learn essential coping skills, and make friends with peers their age who are also grieving. There is no cost to attend this special program. For more info or to apply, please contact Tiffany Smith at tiffany.m.smith@sphp.com) or call 518-724-0272.
