"Drum It Out!"

Percussionist Josh Robinson will facilitate an interactive workshop, "Drum It Out!" that teaches campers to use drumming as a coping tool, a vehicle for healthy expression/emotional release, and a fun way to connect with others. Participants will make their own drums and get a pair of drumsticks to keep! More information at www.joshrobinsondrums.com.

Camp Erin Montgomery County, offered free of charge, was created and is supported in part by Eluna, a public, 501(c)(3) non-profit with a mission to support children and families impacted by grief or addiction. Founded in 2000 in Seattle by former MLB pitcher Jamie Moyer and child advocate Karen Phelps Moyer, Eluna was originally called The Moyer Foundation and launched a series of programs supporting thousands of children and families annually at no cost to them. Camp Erin® is the largest national network of grief programs for bereaved children and teens.

Thank you to our major Camp Erin sponsors:

Bar - T, Inc.
The Eluna Network

The George Preston Marshall Foundation

The Dick and Jody Vilardo Foundation
