In memory of my beloved sister Nini, I will be volunteering at a grief day camp for kids ages 10-12 years old on Saturday July 12, 2025 at the Capitol Hill Day School in Washington, DC.

For more than 25 years, Wendt Center's Camp Forget-Me-Not/Camp Erin DC has been a unique source of joy, support, and healing for grieving children and families in the DC area. Camp has served more than 1,400 grieving children (ages 6-17) by providing a safe space away from their everyday lives.

Camp activities allow children to gently explore the normal yet overwhelming process of grief. Wendt Center believes that grief impacts the whole family system, therefore part of each session is dedicated to intentionally integrating caregivers.

Volunteers provide individual attention to campers, ensuring that every child is heard, valued, and honored.

Professionally licensed therapists will lead several therapeutic group sessions designed to address the age-specific needs of grieving campers.

Camp can only exist with the generous donations of our Wendt Center community. With your help, we can reach even more children in need of compassion and support.

Whatever you're able to offer is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
