Date: June 16, 2026
Time: 9:00 am – 3:00 pm
Location: The Grief Club of Minnesota, 2025 Coulter Blvd, Chanhassen, MN 55317
Who is this camp for?:This camp is designed for children and teens in grades K–8 (completed in Spring 2026) who have experienced the death of a parent or sibling.
Spend the day with us as we combine meaningful grief support with classic camp fun in a safe, compassionate environment created especially for grieving children and teens. The morning begins with intentional, grief-focused programming led by professional licensed grief counselors, offering space for reflection, expression, and connection. Through guided activities and supportive conversations, campers will have the opportunity to process their grief alongside peers who understand and to build healthy coping skills in a supportive setting.
In the afternoon, the energy shifts through engaging in “All-Star” themed activities outdoors at our healing space in Chanhassen. Featuring athletes who briefly share their personal stories of grief and hope, the day demonstrates that grief doesn’t have to be a barrier to achieving dreams. The camp is designed to be a memorable experience where grieving kids not only create memories, but also form connections with others who understand, reinforcing that they are not alone.
