There are many ways to mourn the loss of a loved one. Some find comfort in sharing stories and some find solace in nature. Out in the Sax-Zim Bog area, KFAI’s Matthew Schneeman found two families doing both. This story looks at both Camp Christopher and Auggie’s Bog Walk in Northern Minnesota.
Camp Christopher is a free trailer campsite for people who have lost someone to suicide. Auggie’s Bog Walk is a memorial boardwalk featuring small owl carvings. Both are testaments to the power of connecting with nature and connecting with others.
