Remember the Love

Camp Erin is looking for children, specifically for those children grieving the loss of their parent or sibling who served in the Armed Forces.

Camp Erin TAPS/Grief Camp at Fort Lewis will be held at Black Lake Bible Camp in Olympia, WA on August 1-3, 2011, for children between the ages of 6-17.

The Moyer Foundation is proud to partner with the United Service Organizations (USO) and Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) to bring this experience to communities near four of Americans largest military installations.

Camp Erin is The Moyer Foundation’s free weekend bereavement camp for kids and teens who have experienced the death of someone close to them. With over 40 camps nationwide, Camp Erin is the largest bereavement camp in the country offering fun camp activities with grief education and emotional support.

Surviving families of our fallen military interested in signing up for the camps will be able to register on the TAPS website at www.taps.org or contact Tina Saari at 202-374-1040. Registration is required.

The Moyer Foundation was founded in 2000 by All-Star MLB pitcher Jamie Moyer and his wife Karen, with the mission to empower children in distress by providing education and support – helping them to live healthy and inspired lives.
