Camp Erin Denver 2026 will be held on
Friday, July 31 - Sunday, August 2
at a site in southern Colorado
Camp Erin® Denver is a free weekend bereavement camp for youth who are grieving the death of a significant person in their lives. Children and teens ages 6 to 17 attend a weekend camp experience that combines grief education and emotional support with fun, traditional camp activities. Led by bereavement professionals and caring volunteers, campers are provided a safe environment to explore their grief, learn essential coping skills and make friends with peers who are also grieving.
We are so excited about this year's camp scheduled for the weekend of July 31 - August 2 at a site in Southern Colorado. Camp Erin® gives grieving youth, ages 6 - 17, an opportunity to share the weekend with kindred spirits who know the reality of experiencing the death of someone important in their lives. Camp Erin® Denver provides our campers with a combination of traditional fun camp activities like barbecues, camp fires and s'mores with grief related activities. Imagine a phone booth in the woods where campers can "call" their person or sitting around a pool at dusk with lighted luminaries floating on it as each camper remembers their person. This year we welcome back percussionist, Josh Robinson, who will teach our campers drumming and help each camper create a drum of their own.
Camp Erin® Denver was created and is supported in part by Eluna. Eluna partners with bereavement programs in local communities to help fund, develop and grow Camp Erin® nationwide. For more information, please visit elunanetwork.org.
