What a terrific experience for kids who are grieving to find support and hang with other kids who have had similar experiences. Applications now being accepted. Please share with those who could benefit.

💖 Blue Ridge Care is proud to partner with Eluna to bring Camp Erin® West Virginia to our region for the very first time.

Camp Erin West Virginia is a free day camp for children and teens ages 6-17 who are grieving the death of a significant person in their lives. Through grief support, connection with peers, and traditional camp activities, campers can explore their grief, build coping skills, and experience moments of joy in a supportive environment.

In a state where approximately 1 in 7 children will experience the death of a parent or sibling before age 18, access to grief support has never been more important.
