Camp Sessions at Camp Henry and Camp Blodgett
Camp Sunshine has been providing an overnight camp experience to teens and adults with cognitive/developmental disabilities since 1983. We work hard to pair our campers and counselors in a way that best suits them - sometimes that is a 1:1 pairing and sometimes that is a 2:1 grouping, experiencing each moment together.
Each day is carefully planned with traditional camp activities like ropes courses or other physical activities, arts and crafts, swimming and water activities, spiritual lessons and music, meals together, and of course, a campfire with s’mores!
This year, Camp Sunshine is offering a tow four day/three night camp sessions at both Camp Blodgett (West Olive) and Camp Henry (Newaygo) Michigan.
Please review this page thoroughly for more information about registering for Camp Sunshine 2023.
