(KNOX) – For children navigating the difficult journey of grief, a day of connection, creativity, and healing awaits. Camp Good Mourning, a special day camp sponsored by Altru, will take place Saturday, June 6th from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Turtle River State Park.

Designed for children ages 5–18 who have experienced the loss of a loved one, Camp Good Mourning offers a safe, supportive space where kids can begin to process their grief alongside others who understand.

Throughout the day, participants will explore healthy coping skills through hands-on activities including art, music, movement, and guided expression, helping them navigate their emotions in meaningful and age-appropriate ways.

Pre-registration is required and can be completed at altru.org/cgm. The registration deadline is June 1st.

For additional information about the camp, contact Courtney Caron, camp coordinator, at ccaron@altru.org.

Those interested in supporting Camp Good Mourning can connect with the Altru Foundation at 701-780-5600.
