Children's Grief Connection, formerly known as Camp Amanda-Minnesota is a nonprofit organization providing grief programs for children and teens in partnership with Minnesota's funeral directors.
Founded and supported by members of the Minnesota Funeral Directors Association the Children's Grief Connection provides all its services and programs FREE of charge.
At the Children's Grief Connection of Minnesota our mission is to bring hope and healing to Minnesota's grieving children.
Our next Hearts of Hope Camp, Teen Retreat and Family Grief Connection programs will be August 11th & 12th at Camp Esquagama in Gilbert, Minnesota and November 10th & 11th at Luther Park in Danbury, Wisconsin.
Camp applications can be found by clicking on the "Applications & Forms" link under the CAMPS heading on our main menu.
Healing from grief is a community effort, grief shared is grief spared.
Through our Healing Hearts Blog we will keep you aware of what is happening with the Children's Grief Connection of Minnesota. We will inform and educate you on children's grief, we will support each other with advice, counsel, sympathy and understanding, because we've been there - and most of all, we hope to help you heal the heart broken in grief when a loved one dies.
