What a summer. From the first week in June through Wacky Tacky in August, campers filled our days with new friends, big laughs, and memories that will stick. Summer 2026 has officially come to a close — and we are so grateful you trusted us with your kids.
September kicks off our year-round season. The same Camp Sonshine spirit continues through Shine, family events, and special days back on campus.

A Little Sonshine for Your Heart
At the end of the day, the best part of summer isn’t the themes or the activities — it’s seeing your child walk taller, laugh louder, and feel more like themselves. We’ve loved being part of that journey. Thank you for trusting us with your kids — and we can’t wait to keep the year going with you.
Thank you for an amazing summer.
We’re glad the year-round season is just getting started.
