After attending Camp Sunshine, campers bring home more than just dirty laundry

They bring home unforgettable memories and long lasting friendships. They bring home tales of tasks accomplished that before were thought of as unattainable. They come home feeling more confident in themselves and more secure with their illness. It is amazing how one week at Camp Sunshine can truly make a difference in their lives.
