Camp Erin Philadelphia

Camp Erin Philadelphia was a huge success. Nearly one hundred campers from throughout the Delaware Valley attended the weekend camp.

Camp Erin is a bereavement camp for children 6 to 17 years of age. The camp offers children and teenagers a place to go for a weekend to develop coping skills due to the loss of a loved one while meeting other children who have experienced a similar loss. Diamond Ridge Camps donates the use of the camp, including food service, for the entire weekend.

Philadelphia Phillies Pitcher Jamie Moyer's foundation, The Moyer Foundation provides funding for the program. Unfortunately, Jamie could not visit camp because the Phillies were in Washington DC playing the Nationals. (The Phillies swept the Nationals that weekend, winning all four games!)

Jamie's wife, Karen, was able to visit and spend time with the campers. There were also a few local TV stations that came by Diamond Ridge to do a story on Camp Erin Philadelphia. Here is the story that aired on WPHL Channel 17.
