The Camps


Abba’s Child 1 and 2



Description: Big Lake offers a camp with support based counseling for children aged 7-15 who have experienced the death of an immediate family member. This loss can be overwhelming for anyone and kids need to know that they are not alone as they deal with these new and sometimes scary feelings.

Abba's Child in many ways is a typical summer camp offering a wide variety of supervised activities. From swimming, canoeing, and the "Rocket", to archery, horseback riding and sports - there is fun and adventure throughout the day. Two hour support group sessions are scheduled daily for children to interact with peers who are facing similar loss. Art, crafts, music, story telling, writing, and games are designed to assist with the healing process. Afternoons and evenings are spent rotating through the awesome array of camp activities.
