Camp Erin Stories
Created and funded by The Moyer Foundation
- Camp Erin
- The Moyer Foundation was founded in 2000 by World Series-champion, Major League All-Star pitcher, Jamie Moyer and his wife, Karen. The Foundation’s mission is to help children in distress. The Foundation’s largest initiative is Camp Erin, free bereavement camps for grieving children and teens ages 6-17. With 36 camps in 23 states and one in Canada, Camp Erin is the largest bereavement camp in the country, serving more than 2,500 children annually. With the community’s support, The Moyer Foundation plans to establish as many as 60 camps nationwide- including at least one camp in every Major League Baseball city. Camp Erin is facilitated through a long term partnership with a local bereavement or healthcare agency to fund, develop and grow Camp Erin - helping provide the healing experience of Camp Erin to more children each year. For more information and to get involved go to www.moyerfoundation.org
“As the Foundation expands Camp Erin, we have the opportunity to reach out to communities nationwide to help bring Camp Erin to more kids who are grieving the loss of a loved one. It’s a great opportunity for communities all over to embrace this need, making a positive impact in the lives of children that will last their lifetime.”

“When you look into the eyes of these children, you see their hearts through their stories. They are struggling to cope with and accept their circumstance, but they are learning that there is hope, that they are not alone, and there is light in their eyes that maybe wasn’t there before. We feel blessed to have been a part of this healing process and our hope is that we can bring this experience to more children so that no child grieves alone.”
