Celebrating 40 Years of Sunshine!
This year, Camp Sunshine is celebrating 40 years of providing hope, joy and community through unique experiences for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. Since 1984, more than 60,000 ill children, siblings, parents, and caregivers from all 50 states and 27 countries have come to Camp Sunshine.
And, thanks to the generous support of our donors, our programs are 100% free. At Camp Sunshine, families have a special place to focus on recharging, together, in a safe space with medical support available. They discover a community who understands them. Camp Sunshine is where families find family.
