CAMP ERIN® TORONTO: REMEMBERING TOGETHER
Camp Erin Toronto 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.
Because of the significant level of need, children are only able to attend one Camp Erin overnight camp.
2024 Camper applications are now closed. If you have submitted an application(s) we will be in touch in the coming weeks to schedule camper interviews. Letters confirming acceptance and a spot at Camp will be sent out by March 1, 2024. This year there will be 112 available spaces for Camp Erin Toronto.
