Family Programs

Camp Sunshine offers a variety of programs throughout the year for children of all ages and their entire family- brothers, sisters and parents!!!

• Family Camp Weekends
  

  Family Camp Weekends, held during the spring and fall, allow the immediate family to participate in fun camp activities that include games, sports, arts & crafts, tennis, fishing and massage therapy. Time is allowed for family activities as well as for the parents to participate in group sharing with the medical professionals. Away from the hospital environment, parents have the opportunity to interact with others who understand and fully relate to the challenges of caring for a child with cancer.

  The volunteer staff includes pediatric oncologists, nurses, social workers, mental health professionals and clergy as well as volunteers who participate in Camp Sunshine's summer camp program. Families of children undergoing therapy for cancer are eligible to attend.
