2023!

WHAT IS CAMP AMANDA?

Camp Amanda is a special weekend experience for children ages 7-14 who have experienced a significant loss. The program helps children begin to talk about their feelings related to the death of someone special, and teaches them coping skills for dealing with those feelings. Camp Amanda leaders include professional bereavement counselors and specially trained volunteers.  To sign up for Camp Amanda please contact Walla Walla Community Hospice at 509-525-5561!  We hope to see you at Camp Amanda 2024!

Helping Children Understand Grief!

The music at Camp Amanda plays such an important part of the Camp Amanda experience.  

We are fortunate to have Dr. Jack Shannon provide the warm and touching music at Camp Amanda each year.  Not only does Dr. Shannon serve on the leadership team for Camp Amanda, he plays an active part in the program itself, with one of those roles being our musician.  

Many people have asked if it would be possible to have access to the music Dr. Shannon performs at Camp Amanda.  For that reason, and the simple fact that the music of Camp Amanda is such an important part of Camp, we have made many of the songs used at Camp Amanda available by clicking on the link on each songs title.

Please feel free to take a listen to many of the songs shared with the campers, staff, and volunteers each year at Camp. Not only are the songs touching but the lyrics hit right at the heart of the values of Camp Amanda.  

Thank you Dr. Shannon for your over 34 years of being a part of Camp Amanda.
