WHAT MAKES CAMP SONSHINE UNIQUE?
Active Supervision
Campers are put into groups led by a counselor who are engaged and actively involved all day. Counselors take on being responsible to direct play and be playful themselves. When the counselor is fully involved in the activities and conversations within the group, any notion of undesired behavior is addressed right away. This leads to an environment free of bullying and worry for all!
Active Imagination
In today’s world, it’s sometimes tough for a kid to be a kid and it is important for us to provide them with a safe and accepting place to do that. As we are created by God and in his image, we also believe that part of that image is evident in that children have a desire and ability to create. Imagination unlocks the door to creativity and allows children to hope and to dream.
Active Community
We are also made to be relational beings. Because of that, everything we do at Camp Sonshine revolves around building relationships with others. Each group is a small community (or family) that build relationships with each other starting the minute they arrive and all week long. It’s the active connection that builds trust and allows for counselors and campers to talk about God in ways that relates to them! Plus, building these relational skills translates to all areas of life!
My campers’ weeks at Camp Sonshine are always the highlights of the summer. They cannot wait for camp and are always sad when the week comes to an end. I love that they are being instilled with hope during the week! And we love that Camp Sonshine is consistently able to find young leaders to serve as counselors – particularly the young men – to serve as role models and leaders for our children!
