How to Get Involved

Would you like to help Camp Sonshine as we help kids be successful in the business of growing up? We have many opportunities for parents and friends to get involved.

Host Homes

Our summer staff come from all over the United States and around the world, sacrificing the comforts of home and the freedom of their summer in order to invest into the lives of children and teens.

In order to keep our costs down, we depend on the generosity of our friends who are willing to open up their homes to an ever-growing percentage of our counselors. All we ask is that our gracious hosts provide a place for a counselor to sleep and get ready in the morning. Counselors will also need a space in the freezer/refrigerator and cabinet/pantry to store their own breakfast food and weekend food. You are not responsible for their meals, transportation, cleaning up after them, or enforcing any of camp's guidelines or rules.

Please consider being part of the Camp Sonshine family in this act of service. If you would like to receive more information regarding this program, please call our Main Camp Office at (301) 989-2267. Your decision changes a counselor's summer experience.

Site Work Days

It takes an army to make sure our camp grounds are looking their best. We have monthly workdays where the full-time camp staff get out with their old clothes on to do some needed maintenance and facility improvements.

If you would like to join us for the day or part of the day (no landscaping skills required), or if you have expertise in a certain area and would like to offer your services or donate building/ landscaping supplies, please call our Site Manager, Paul Travis at (301) 989-2267 ext. 1249 for more details.
