Camp Erin Montgomery County is full for this year! CaringMatters, in partnership with Bar-T, will be hosting 50 campers, ages 6-17 years old, who are grieving the death of a someone close to them. All of the details for this fabulous weekend are getting finalized, but we are still in need of Big Buddies to accompany and support the campers throughout the weekend and would love to have more male Big Buddies join us for the weekend.
Please share this information widely! For information and to apply to become a Big Buddy for Camp Erin, contact Eva Cowen, Director of Camp Erin, evac@caringmatters.org or 301-869-4673, ext. 111.
