Sunshine Camp Events
We host a variety of major events each year that ensure thousands of children and young adults with disabilities and city youth in our community have the opportunity to attend programs at the Sunshine Camp every year – we couldn’t do what we do without the support of donors and sponsors of these events. We are well under way in planning our events for the upcoming year, check out our event list below and stop back often for updated information and sign up links.
