Nathan Adelson Hospice hosts 16th annual Camp Erin
The Nathan Adelson Hospice Foundation held its 16th annual Camp Erin in Las Vegas last weekend, with more than 30 Southern Nevada children and teens in attendance.
Camp Erin, a free bereavement program, aims to help youth ages 6 through 17 traverse grief after the loss of a loved one.
Attendees participated in team building exercises, traditional camp activities and grief support sessions led by trained grief professionals and volunteers during the three-day camp.
Although no campers from Nye County or Pahrump were present this year, there were Nye County volunteers.
Camp Erin is a nationwide program, where Eluna, a nonprofit with the goal of supporting children and families affected by grief or addiction, partners with local bereavement programs to host the experience.

Volunteering with Camp Erin
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer at next year's Camp Erin, there are two opportunities to support these kids in this safe and supportive environment.
Cabin Big Buddies are in attendance with the children for the entire camp and supervise meals, recreational activities and cabin life.
Daytime Volunteers drop in for daytime support but do not spend the night with the campers.
Volunteer and camper registration for next year's weekend camp will begin early 2027.
