Welcome!

About Camp Erin
Campers participate in fun, traditional camp activities combined with grief education and emotional support, led by expert bereavement professionals and trained volunteers. Camp Erin Indianapolis also provides support and education for the caregivers through our Family Program.
At Camp Erin, children are comforted knowing that there are other children who have experienced similar situations and understand how they are feeling. Children have an opportunity to address their feelings and memorialize their loved ones. They are provided with the tools and resources needed during and after camp, including memories and friendships that last long after camp is complete.

Our local Camp Erin mascot and symbol is the giraffe, the animal with the biggest heart and longest neck. He represents the heart we bring to Camp Erin and the braveness we show when we "stick our necks out" to tell our stories and be a part of this camp. We want to thank our campies, families, volunteers and supporters for the willingness to take this risk to be a part of Camp Erin.
And you did it—from our families who trusted us with their children, to our campers who reached down to strengths they didn’t know they had to meet physical and emotional challenges, to our volunteers who tirelessly offered their time and resources, to our funders and grantors who trusted our vision and joined us to make it all possible.
Together, we ARE Camp Erin Indianapolis.
We hope each of you will stay in touch. You can e-mail us or post on the Camp Erin Facebook page.
