More than a summer program...
It’s a year ‘round experience for children with cancer and their siblings

Visit the Upcoming Events page for a full list of programs!

Sunrise Sundays
(September thru June)

Once a month children with cancer -- ages 3 1/2 to 17 -- and their siblings, get together with our summer camp staff for a day-long “camp” experience. Music, crafts, sports and special guest events are part of our “camp” programs. Children need not have participated in our previous summer camp program to join the fun of Sunrise Sundays. Programs are held at the Henry Kaufmann Campgrounds on the border of Nassau & Suffolk Counties or other sites during the year.

 

Sunrise Fun-days
(September thru June)
Have a mid-year, multi-day reunion with camp friends or make new friends by joining our Sunrise Vacation Fun-days. The program is open to our previous summer’s Sunrise Day Camp children, ages 3 1/2 to 17, and children who want to have a mid-year Sunrise fun experience. Activities take place at either the Henry Kaufmann Campgrounds or other sites. Dates vary and are consistent with public school vacation days.

 

Hospital/Home Visits
Sunshine from Sunrise
From time to time, children associated with Sunrise Day Camp and year-round programs fall ill, requiring hospitalization and separation from their friends and family. A group of trained volunteers visit hospitals to bring Sunrise greetings and a “bag of fun” to our children. Contact us if your child is in the hospital. We would love to bring a little bit of sunshine to their day from their Sunrise friends.
