Camp Sunshine supports children with life threatening illnesses and their
families. The camp has the distinction of being the only program in the nation
whose mission is to address the impact of a life threatening illness on every
member of the immediate family—the ill child, the parents, and the siblings.
Since its inception, Camp Sunshine has provided a haven for over 16,000
individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Families with a child diagnosed with diseases such as cancer, kidney disease,
lupus, solid organ transplants, and other life threatening illnesses attend one
of the week-long camps. Our focus is on alleviating the strain that a life
threatening illness takes not only on the sick child but also on other family
members. Families have an opportunity to rebuild their relationships together
and meet other families facing similar challenges.
Free quality services are provided at the camp including accommodations and
meals, onsite medical services, counseling services, and recreational
facilities. While the camp is in session, each family stays in their own family
suite. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served each day.
Volunteers, except for those who live nearby, also stay on the property.
Camp Sunshine is staffed almost entirely by volunteers, many of whom return year
after year. The volunteers reflect the diversity of the families and help with
recreational leadership, childcare, food service and whatever else needs to be
done.
Another distinctive component of the program is the medical facilities and
professional staff that are available to address the taxing physical needs of
children with intrusive diseases. A physician is located at the camp for the
entire session so that families can be secure in the knowledge that the camp
offers 24-hour onsite medical support. In addition, a hospital with full-time
emergency room physicians and pediatricians is only 25 minutes from the camp.
Recreational hours allow children to relax and enjoy the simple pleasures of
childhood while their parents find quiet moments to walk by the lake and
reaffirm their support for one another. In addition, games and events are
designed to foster family involvement, encouraging families to laugh and play as
a unit. This approach builds a new foundation the family can take with them
when the camp is over to unite them during the darker times they will face.
Each family is sponsored by an individual, civic group, corporation, or
foundation, which enables a family to spend a week at Camp Sunshine free of
charge. The sponsorship for one family to participate in the week-long
program is $1,500. The Family Sponsorship Program provides a way for donors to
sponsor a family or families from their geographic area.
