You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

The Camp Sunshine Experience

Camp Sunshine is a summer camp for people ages 12 to 50 with mild to moderate cognitive impairments. We offer four-day/three-night camp sessions at two locations in Michigan so campers and their families can choose the location that is right for them.

Each camper is paired with a volunteer counselor for the entire camp session. This individual attention affords all campers the opportunity to participate in many activities that may not be available in their home settings. 

Each year features a different theme. Food, activities, creative expressions, spiritual lessons, music, and recreation are all based on the theme. Music plays a prominent role at camp, with campers singing every morning, after lunch and every evening.  Whether it is singing during during the sunset, acting during morning lessons, playing games, creating crafts, or taking center stage at the talent show, everyone is valued and loved for who they are at Camp Sunshine.​​
