Bereavement Camp Standards of Practice

Eluna is pleased to lead the development of Bereavement Camp Standards of Practice through the generous support of the New York Life Foundation.

Created by an advisory committee of bereavement and camp professionals, the Bereavement Camp Standards of Practice offers helpful considerations for a beneficial, safe experience in a variety of bereavement camp settings.

Topics include:  

  • Camp fundamentals
  • Staff and volunteer involvement
  • Health and safety
  • Facility and business
  • Pre-camp assessment
  • Camp and post-camp experience

We hope the Standards will support professionals’ work with youth and adults who are grieving.

Contact Kiri Meyer, Eluna’s Bereavement Programs Manager, with questions or suggestions.
