Hospice of Rutherford Offers Local Youth Free Grief Camp
Camp Erin™ of the Carolinas is a camp for kids and teens, ages 6 to 17, who have experienced the death of someone close to them. Facilitated by professional staff from Hospice of Rutherford County and trained volunteers, Camp Erin is offered free of charge to kids and teens throughout the Carolinas.
At Camp Erin, kids have an opportunity to be around other kids who have experienced similar losses. They participate in typical camp activities (arts, crafts, field games, and more), as well as activities designed to help them understand and process their grief.
