Camp Sonshine Receives Approval for Increased Enrollment

Camp Sonshine — Thu, 17 May 2012 20:59:39 +0000

Today we have a great deal to be thankful for and to celebrate. As many of you know, yesterday (May 16) was the public hearing to address the continued growth and expansion of Camp Sonshine, both for this summer and for the years to come. We are delighted to share with you that our many prayers have been answered and we received an 8-0 vote from the Planning Commission in favor of allowing us to expand Camp Sonshine!

So what exactly does all of this mean……It means that this summer we will have the ability to have up to 150 campers per session (previously 80) with provisions in place to allow camp to ultimately reach a capacity of 300. As part of this application, we also were given the green light for 20 students to attend our after school program this coming fall.

Today we will be opening up the waiting lists to let everyone in. After that is complete a couple of our more popular sessions will be nearly full again. If you or anyone you know plans to register for camp this summer but hasn’t yet, please consider doing that at your earliest convenience. We have got an absolutely amazing team of counselors this summer and the program is going to be out of this world.

Thanks for your faithful support and commitment to Camp Sonshine. We are looking forward to a great summer both now and in the years to come.

IMPORTANT!!! Camp Sonshine’s Birthdaty Party is Chaning Locations to the LINCOLN RACQUET CLUB!!!!!

Camp Sonshine — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 00:31:57 +0000

One of the many joys of running a camp is that you quickly learn the importance of “Flexible Planning”. The unexpected can and often times does happen. Apparently our birthday party for Camp Sonshine tonight is no exception.

We just received a phone call from Star City Shores that due to a body fluid spill in the pool today, they are forced to close the pool as well as cancel our event for this evening. This is obviously a huge disruption to our envisioned plan for this evening however we have been working diligently on a solution.

We are very thrilled to announce that the Lincoln Racquet Club (on Old Cheney) has agreed to allow us to move our party tonight over to their indoor/outdoor swimming pool area from 8:30 – 10:30pm.

They are also going to allow us to use their indoor pool and gym.

Thanks so much for your flexibility and great attitude with changing plans. We look forward to still seeing you all tonight. Please join us in thanking the Lincoln Racquet Club staff and owners for their amazing service and assistance.

Blessings,
Jeff & Trisha Keiser
