“It meant a lot for my daughter to feel “normal” and have her grief, thoughts, and feelings validated…”

Kid’s Camp
WHAT WE DO
We provide camp and retreat experiences for grieving kids and families. By providing adventurous new experiences of fun, healthy discovery, supportive conversation, and guided learning, lives change. The kids and families are better equipped to develop increased confidence, emotional resilience, strengthened relationships, and a more hopeful outlook.
We hold our retreats and camps in four states – California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Colorado options coming soon!
Family Retreats
Our hope is that these faith-based retreats will give your family the opportunity to cherish the memories of your loved one, build new relationships with others experiencing similar grief, and gain a better understanding of what healthy grief looks like.
Why Abba’s Child?
Abba’s Child provides supportive experiences along with tools and resources to help kids and families navigate their frightening new reality of grief and loss.
Kid’s Grief Camps
Abba’s Child strives to provide an environment where kids can explore their grief, freely talk about the confusing emotions they are experiencing, and have a whole lot of fun.
Walk Alongside
No one should have to grieve alone. Abba’s Child seeks to break the isolation often experienced with peers at home.
Cherish Memories
Memories become the treasure that remains after a loved one dies. Celebrations of cherished memories encourage healing.
Energize Hope
Hope is energized when grieving individuals interact with others who are successfully navigating the journey of sadness and loss.
Remember to Live
Camp allows people to laugh, cry, play, create, remember the person who died, and acknowledge the feelings that weigh them down. It is all part of living.
Encourage New Life
Over time we release the pain of loss, but never the power of legacy. Our lives pay tribute to the loved ones we have lost.
