Sunrise Day Camp, for children ages 3-16, is the only dedicated day camp in the nation for children with cancer. It is a camp designed to meet the emotional, social, recreational and physical needs of these children while allowing them to enjoy the comforts and safety of their own homes at night. Sunrise Day Camp is operated by the Barry and Florence Friedberg JCC and is situated on the Henry Kaufmann Campgrounds, a 300-acre wooded site that borders Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island in New York. Best of all, Sunrise Day Camp is offered free of charge to all children being treated for cancer or related disorders on a non-sectarian basis.

In addition to our wonderful summer camp, we offer a wide variety of programs all year long, as well as many special fundraising and social events such as our annual Walk to Help the Sun Rise and many others.
