A retreat for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families

2022 SUMMER PROGRAMMING ANNOUNCEMENT
Hands UP!!! We are extremely excited to announce our official summer programming plans, which will include both in-person “Family Camp” sessions and Camp Sunshine at Home offerings!
Our Anna Gould & Larry Gould Campus will officially re-open for in-person Family Camps for families and volunteers from the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states. All in-person family camps this summer will operate at reduced capacity and follow a modified format focusing on a family unit experience. This innovative programming will allow individual families a memorable summer adventure with volunteer support. Bereavement programming information will follow this fall.
In the interest of the health and safety of the community, COVID precautions will include but are not limited to vaccine requirements, masking, and social distancing. Participants who are immune-suppressed or are from states outside the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic are eligible to participate in Camp Sunshine at Home.
Camp Sunshine’s Board of Directors and staff appreciate your patience and understanding as we safely welcome back the community we love so dearly. While we are overjoyed that this summer marks the beginning of a return to in-person programming, we understand that the modifications necessary to do so are limiting. We are dedicated to offering Camp Sunshine at Home programming until all members of our community can safely return to Camp in person.
We are looking forward to a fun-filled, summer of sunshine!
