Camp Amanda-Minnesota

Working with grieving families over the past 100 years has given us a special compassion for children who are experiencing a loss. We say that too often children were not getting the support needed to adjust to their loss, leaving them struggling. In 2002, we joined with funeral directors all over the state to create Camp Amanda-Minnesota, a free weekend camp for children, ages 6-18 who have experienced the death of someone important to them. It is specially designed to provide the support and information children need, in a way they can understand. For more information, give us a call or click this link to the Camp Amanda. Minnesota website.

We are proud to support Camp Amanda-Minnesota. More importantly, we have been privileged to have Jeanne Putnam, Aftercare Coordinator at the funeral home, volunteer at camp several times. We know from personal experience that Camp Amanda-Minnesota works! If you are considering sending a child to Camp Amanda-Minnesota, Jeanne would be happy to share her camp experiences with you.
