★★★★★Joe Driscoll

Son has been going to day camp here for the last few years. Staff is always very friendly, approachable and accommodating. Can’t say enough good things about Sunshine Camp. He looks forward to it every single year!

★★★★★Sarah Stagnitto

There are amazing outdoor opportunities here for groups of children with mobility difficulties - such a fun place!!! I was lucky enough to get a brief tour last summer. Have you ever seen a child get to hang out in their wheelchair in a tree house?

★★★★★Susan N

This is an amazing place. All handicapped accessible. The grounds include cabins, playground,a train during the summer, live animals, trails & countless other fun things to do. A local getaway for handicapped children and adults to enjoy some fun.

★★★★★Kevin Markman

Wonderful spot for loved ones. The staff care and they find good ones to support. Great campus and lots of fun. Pool and solar power.

★★★★★John-David Rocha

Very nice campsite for specific groups. Not a public place to visit. Lots of options for visitors to do: archery, swimming, nice playground, large cafeteria suitable for 100+ that includes a full industrial kitchen, great space for big bonfire, low ropes challenge activities, athletic field w backstop, basketball hoops, fishing pond... Wow so much to do. A total of six cabins that have large indoor shower/restroom area between bedding spaces each available with occupancy up to roughly 20 per side surrounding the bathrooms. So total occupancy could approach 250 people. Have visited this location the past two years.
