In 2015, with the New York Life Foundation’s support, Eluna led the response to fill a gap in field best practices by developing the Bereavement Camp Standards of Practice (Standards). The Standards provide comprehensive recommendations for implementing beneficial, safe, and successful bereavement camp experiences. They are used by bereavement programs across the U.S. and internationally to develop and enhance grief camp programs.
Eluna’s Standards Committee of bereavement and camp professionals convenes on a regular basis to review, revise, and provide a resource that reflects the current needs of the bereavement field and program participants.
