31 bereaved children and 70 volunteers recently came together at Camp Owaissa Bauer in Homestead, FL to make the inaugural Camp Erin-Miami a hopeful experience for all involved. Camp Erin-Miami is an annual three day camp experience offered at no charge and facilitated by professional staff and trained volunteers of HospiceCare of Southeast Florida. The camp is for children from 6 to 17 years of age, who have experienced the death of a loved one. Camp Erin-Miami provides a safe, caring environment and offers fun recreational activities and supportive discussions to help campers build trust, self esteem and coping skills.
