Story
Since 1999, Wendt Center's Camp Forget-Me-Not/Camp Erin DC has offered grieving children (ages 6-17) an opportunity to enter a safe space away from their everyday lives to gently explore the normal yet overwhelming process of grief.
With an abundance of caution, we have decided again to offer the day camp option to grieving families. We will provide 3 (1) day day camps for different age groups. Programming will include therapy groups, drumming, drama, art, writing, play and time with therapy dogs! Our day camp will provide a unique opportunity to share memories and explore grief in a safe setting where all participant's self-expression is heard, valued, validated, and honored.
This year I am dedicating my work to my parents who have been avid supporters of my work as a grief therapist and recognize the importance of being present for young people in the darkest and brightest of times. It is my distinct honor to continue to be in a leadership role as the Director of Camp Forget Me Not/Camp Erin DC.
Please join me by generously supporting this year's amazing camp
programming! Help us counter the social isolation, loss of ritualizing
grief and in-person grief support brought on by continuing to live in a pandemic!
