Words cannot express the appreciation I have for Camp Sunshine. It gives families who have been through, and are going through, a lot of pain moments of pure joy, happiness, and acceptance. As a parent, I felt comforted. I was not alone.
Thank you, Camp Sunshine and all the amazing volunteers who make this magic happen. We will be forever grateful.
This place is truly amazing! I lost my brother and me and my family come here yearly. I have met so many amazing kids and volunteers here. The food is really good. I always have so much fun here playing games with my friends or really anything. It’s sad I’m only here for about 4 days every year because of how awesome it is. There is also unlimited free hot chocolate all day everyday and that’s really amazing. I have so many amazing memories from here and I can’t wait to make more!
A truly amazing place. The camp was ringing with the laughter of children of all ages and many of whom had been through a lot. The camp provided solace and peace. Kids love this place - Swimming, kayaking, great food! Thank you to the volunteers and
for giving us this opportunity to relax and reflect.
What a wonderful experience. Highly recommended. This camp was an absolutely amazing experience. While there, I felt a sense of community. I made so many friends on this trip at a bereavement retreat for parents that had lost their children to cancer. What they do here is very special. Everything was taken care of for us and I could not be more thankful. The amenities at the camp are incredible. So much to do.
And let's not forget Bob. We love Bob!!
I wish I could give it 10 stars!!!!! This place is amazing, staffed by amazing volunteers. Our family attended for a Sun-Thur off-treatment week and it was just packed with fun and entertainment. Indoor activities, waterfront activities, magicians, talent show, campfire/s'mores, volleyball, mini golf course, soccer field, basketball/pickleball courts, so much to do!! Wonderful people at a wonderful location on a beautiful lake in Maine, what more could you want! Can't wait to go back!!
Absolutely amazing place with an amazing mission. Families of children with various illnesses get a week to just have fun, enjoy life, connect with others and kids get to be kids.....not just sick kids.
This place is awesome all the way around lots of different fun things for the kids to do under the supervision of the camp volunteers. Great groups and activities for the adults to join in if you want or you can just chill back at the room.
We have been coming here since 2008. We love it here. It is a camp for whole families with a child that has a life threatening disease. We have found rest, and community here.
This is the MOST AMAZING place for children to be children after having to grow up so fast due to life threatening illnesses. Everyone is kind and always smiling, you can be yourself and not feel so alone in the fight for your child's life. I recommend getting involved in every way possible!!
Great place for a family to come together and enjoy nature. I truly appreciate camp so my family can reconnect despite the life threatening illness in our family.
I went here on a motorcycle ride fundraiser for the camp. The kids loved to see and sit on a bunch of bikes. Sorry if we exposed them to a bit of "Culture". I mean, it was a buncha bikers..
So much LOVE and Positivity with time to relax with or without the kids! Nothing but the best place and the best campus in the world to be to emotionally healed!!
Great opportunity for families to connect with others that have similar medical journeys with their sick children. Make lots of connections that carry on with you. Wonderful Organization!!! We LOVE Camp Sunshine
A wonderful magical place! We love going each year to gather with other families with a child with cancer who know just how we feel. We help them and they help us. Camp Sunshine is such a blessing in our lives.
Camp Sunshine is the best! We have been 2 years in a row for Retinoblastoma Week as out son was diagnosed with Rb as a baby. It is an amazing place to meet other families going through the same thing and just having fun!
I went there last year for the first time and I really loved it. The staff are nice food is awesome, they make you feel at home. Can wait to go again this year!
This is one of the truly amazing places. We enjoyed a spectacular week with some wonderfully selfless people. We are truly grateful for all the care and generosity they have shown our family.
Amazing! There is actually nothing to complain about at all. Camp Sunshine is on this cute little lake, and there are kayaks and canoes. There are little huts for the 9-12 year olds when they go to do their camp out, and the volunteer housing is wonderful! Most rooms can house 6 people at max,, but each room has their own bathroom, fridge, microwave, and television. The main building is nicely done and has a great big space for meals and talent shows....even a couple dance parties. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND VOLUNTEERING! you meet so many amazing people and children, and it's such an amazing experience, honestly if you never go you're missing out.
