Camp Erin Western Kentucky – A Healing Journey for Grieving Youth
📅 Date: Friday, August 1st – Sunday, August 3rd, 2025
📍 Location: Gasper River Retreat Center, Bowling Green, KY
Camp Erin Western Kentucky, partnered with Hospice of Southern Kentucky, is a nurturing overnight bereavement camp designed especially for children and teens ages 6-17 who are mourning the death of someone close to them. It’s a weekend that fills the countryside of Gasper River Retreat Center in Bowling Green, KY, with the spirit of compassion and the joy of camp life.
This extraordinary camp, a partnership with Eluna, is more than just a camp. It’s a community of understanding and support, where the fun of a traditional camp is combined with grief education and emotional support. Our bereavement professionals and caring volunteers are here to guide your children and teens, providing a haven for young hearts to explore their grief, develop coping skills, and find camaraderie with others who understand.
At Camp Erin, grief is not the end but the beginning of a journey towards empowerment. Thanks to the generous support of Eluna, Hospice of Southern Kentucky, and The New York Life Foundation, this transformative camp is offered completely free of charge to families.
Spaces at Camp Erin are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, with new campers given precedence. Returning campers will be waitlisted and should communicate any new significant losses. A family interview is part of the application process, and camper acceptance follows this interview.
Don’t miss the chance to secure a spot in this limited space camp, where not only healing and hope await our campers but also the opportunity for new friendships and the creation of great memories. It’s a weekend that promises to be filled with joy and understanding.
Join us for a weekend where children and teens discover they’re not alone in their grief, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the warmth of new friendships.
