Mission
Manitou Experience provides bereavement support to children who have lost a parent, sibling or loved one through summer camps, year-round programs, and online support.Manitou Experience Camps are one-week summer camps for boys that help build confidence, encourage laughter, and navigate grief through friendship, teamwork, activities, and the common bond of loss.
What We Do
Manitou Experience provides boys who have experienced a significant death-loss with a program that helps build confidence, encourage laughter and navigate their grief through friendship, teamwork, athletics, and the common bond of loss.It is a safe environment where kids can explore their grief, break the isolation they may feel with their non-camp peers, and have a whole lot of fun. They have the opportunity to meet and connect with kids who are coping with similar challenges, while getting all of the benefits of the traditional summer camp experience. Through team sports, individual challenges and community living they learn about leadership, confidence and cooperation. Under the guidance of professional bereavement staff, campers have the opportunity to share stories and remember the one who died, while exploring skills that will help them after camp.
We are currently expanding our services to year-round programs, including Mentorship programs and online tools to connect kids and provide ongoing support away from camp.
