Grief camp for children and teens - free resource

Camp Erin Grief Camp has locations in both King and Snohomish counties as a free resource for grieving youth in our community.

Overview of the upcoming King County program

Camp Erin® King County is free of charge to all participants and provides a caring environment, filled with activities to assist children and teens (ages 6 – 17 or 18 if still in school) coping with loss. 

Camp Erin offers a special combination of fun recreational activities and supportive discussions to help campers build their trust, self-esteem and coping skills. 

Age-appropriate groups of children and teens provide an opportunity to meet with peers who have had similar feelings and experiences. 

Planned activities allow for sharing of feelings and concerns, friendship building, and fun. 

The camp is facilitated by professional staff affiliated with Providence Hospice of King County program, as well as trained volunteers. Adult “Big Buddy” volunteers offer additional support and companionship for campers.
