Camp Overview
Make This Summer Legendary at Camp Sonshine!
At Camp Sonshine, we believe a summer spent investing in the lives of children is a summer well spent. As a Christian, faith-based organization, we’re passionate about creating an environment where campers can experience the love of God in real, tangible ways—and we’re looking for staff who share that passion. Our international counselors find Camp Sonshine to be a unique, unforgettable experience filled with lifelong friendships, personal growth, and memories that will last a lifetime. You'll have the incredible opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of children, while your own heart and life are transformed in the process.
Located on the beautiful East Coast of the United States, Camp Sonshine offers the best of both worlds: a fun, high-energy day camp for kids, and a close-knit, residential experience for staff. When you're not leading and loving campers, you'll enjoy weekends off and free trips to exciting destinations like Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and even an opportunity to visit New York City—just a train ride (for a small fee) away.
Come be part of the Camp Sonshine family, and discover how one summer can change everything!
