Camp Keaton
(formerly Camp Erin Hamilton)
Camp Keaton (formerly Camp Erin Hamilton) is a bereavement camp for children and youth ages 7-17 grieving a significant death. Camp Keaton provides a traditional, fun and high-energy camp experience, combined with grief education and emotional support. The camp is staffed by bereavement counsellors and community volunteers professionally trained by child bereavement experts.
Since 2013, the Bob Hemp Hospice has offered a children’s bereavement camp because they know that children grieve differently, and often through play. They first partnered with the Moyer Foundation and their Camp Erin. The camp was named in memory of Erin Metcalf, a remarkable young woman who died of cancer at the age of 17 who often expressed concern for how children would cope after the death of a loved one.
Camp Keaton is named after Keaton Millar. Keaton was a vivacious and spunky 4 year old when he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 2007; Keaton passed away in 2010. Keaton’s nickname was “Key, and the symbol of the key has been incorporated into the new camp logo.
