Camp Forget-Me-Not/Camp Erin DC 2025

Grief Day Camps, Summer 2025
Camp Forget-Me-Not/Camp Erin DC is a free bereavement camp for youth who are grieving the death of a person. Campers experience a full day of traditional camp activities and grief-focused workshops. All activities are designed to help campers express themselves and develop bonds with others. The Wendt Center believes that grief impacts the entire family system, therefore a portion of each session is dedicated to intentionally integrating caregivers and family members.
Volunteer opportunities available.
