Vision of Camp Sonshine

"Camp Sonshine is day camp that exists to honor God in all that we do by pursuing excellence  in our service to children, teens, parents and staff and by enabling growth and development  in a safe, caring Christian enviroment. "
- Camp Sonshine Mission Statement

In 1981, David Black, the founder of Camp Sonshine, had a vision: A beautiful, safe environment where children from all walks of life could experience fun, growth and love.
With God’s help, his vision became a reality.

From a modest beginning of 25 children in his mom's backyard, Camp Sonshine now provides the setting for over 3,000 children and teens to experience God in an exciting and life-changing atmosphere. No matter the type of home or background of our campers, we are devoted to leaving them with a legacy of hope and faith that will follow them throughout their lives. This was David’s vision, and for thousands of children it has made all the difference in the world.

With four camps locally, one camp in Nebraska and 4 more camps across the globe, Camp Sonshine is on a mission. We’ve dedicated our lives to the physical, mental and spiritual growth of all who visit and work here. And with over two decades of outstanding success behind us, our mission is to continue on this path.
