In addition to helping foster and foster adopted youth build new connections and make new friends\, this retreat will offer an opportunity for siblings who are not currently residing in the same placement to spend quality time together and maintain their familial bond. Priority will be given to siblings who do not reside in the same household. Whether attending with a sibling or not\, every youth will gain valuable life skills that can be used long after the retreat has concluded. \nRegistration & Additional Details URL:https://chlss.org/event/foster-foster-adopted-youth-retreat-2025/2026-10-09/ LOCATION:Camp Knutson\, 11148 Manhattan Point Blvd\, Crosslake\, MN\, 56422\, United States CATEGORIES:Community Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261107T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261107T160000 DTSTAMP:20260922T125623Z CREATED:20260922T125623Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260922T125623Z UID:10001914-1794056400-1794067200@chlss.org SUMMARY:Circus of the Heart DESCRIPTION:Join us for the kick-off Minnesota’s Adoption Awareness and Kinship Care Month\, honoring families who have grown through adoption and kinship care while providing information about adopting children and youth under state guardianship. \nIn-Person: North End Event Center\, MN State Fairgrounds\, Falcon Heights\, MN 55108 \nVirtual: New this year\, virtual engagement opportunities including online activities and contest will be available. \nRegister by October 24th to reserve your spot for the in-person event\, virtual engagement opportunities\, or both! \nClick Here to Register URL:https://chlss.org/event/circus-of-the-heart/ LOCATION:MN CATEGORIES:Community Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261114T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261114T120000 DTSTAMP:20261005T143700Z CREATED:20261005T142455Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261005T143700Z UID:10001918-1794648600-1794657600@chlss.org SUMMARY:Foster Care & Adoption Fair DESCRIPTION:Children’s Home Eustis Office – Saint Paul\, MN\nSaturday\, November 14\, 2026\, from 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM (CT)\nHave you ever wondered if foster care or adoption might be right for your family?
