Our Executive Director, Amanda, is on Whidbey Island and blue herons keep showing up nearby! The blue heron is the symbol of Camp Erin and it is so neat to see them up close! Signs of good things to come!
Story of Erin from the Eluna Network:
Camp Erin is named in memory of Erin Metcalf, a remarkable young woman who sadly developed liver cancer when she was 15 years old. Karen and Jamie Moyer met Erin through Make-A-Wish and were immediately drawn into a friendship with Erin and her family. Erin had a compassionate heart, and when she was hospitalized, she often expressed concern for the other children in the hospital and their siblings. She recognized the impact the illness of a family member can have on siblings, and their need for support and attention. Erin would always see shooting stars and blue herons when she was being treated for her cancer, which is why those symbols are prominent in the Camp Erin logo.
