Become a Partner
Establish Camp Erin in your Community
Camp Erin is made possible by partnering with local bereavement experts such as hospitals, hospices and bereavement organizations. We value our Camp Erin partners and consider each group to be vital contributors to the national Camp Erin network, helping to establish Camp Erin as a nationally-recognized resource for community healing and growth.
To become a Camp Erin partner is much more than a financial commitment. The Moyer Foundation provides multi-year guidance, support and relationships to assist partner organizations in growing their services to help more grieving youth.
Camp Erin Program Model
The Moyer Foundation has worked with nationally recognized bereavement experts to create the Camp Erin Best Practices Guide which encompasses all aspects of running a successful program from start up to pre camp, camp weekend and post camp. While partners are required to meet certain programmatic benchmarks, all are encouraged to create an experience unique to the needs of the grieving children and teens in the communities they serve. The Camp Erin Best Practices Guide is reserved for those groups that are part of the Camp Erin network.
Education and Networking
Partners enjoy the benefit of becoming part of a larger network of national bereavement experts which facilitates the sharing of information and best practices through centralized and ongoing communication.
Marketing
The Moyer Foundation provides camp partners with official Camp Erin brand assets, collateral, bereavement information and additional templates to be used by partners for local marketing and promotional efforts.
Public Relations and Media
The Moyer Foundation’s public relations team leads ongoing outreach efforts to national print and broadcast outlets as well as local outreach to support the launch of each new camp and local fundraising efforts. The Moyer Foundation provides partners with press release templates, talking points, quotes from experts, advocates and additional assets to help support local camps in their own outreach efforts.
Relationship Building
Partners enjoy the benefits of being part of a national network of support that includes association with more than 100 celebrity advocates, MLB/and pro team contacts as well as nationally-recognized bereavement experts. These individuals help raise awareness and support for Camp Erin in many ways by helping to shine a spotlight on children’s bereavement and the need to support issues related to unresolved childhood grief while also raising the profile of local Camp Erin programs and partners.
The Moyer Foundation completes extensive research on bereavement leaders such as hospices, hospitals and stand alone bereavement agencies in each community where Camp Erin is slated for establishment.
Future Camp Erin expansion include: Houston, Texas and North and South Carolina. Hospices, bereavement centers and hospitals with existing child bereavement programs interested in becoming a Moyer Foundation Camp Erin partner in these locations are invited to submit the Camp Erin Request For Proposal (RFP).
