★★★★★Ethan KeelingIve been going to Sonlight for about 8 years now I belive. I've never had a bad experience and have never felt more welcomed anywhere else. The first time I went to cam I was worried but the second I got there people were hugging me and we're saying "welcome home". And that's what it has become. A home for me. I highly reccomend this camp.

The location and scenery was second to none, the food was fantastic, and I was blessed to have gone to this part of Gods Country for an unforgettable weekend. I'd highly recommend this wonderful camp to anyone of all ages.
★★★★★Rebecca RossiMy friend told me about Sonlight Camp when I was in high school. She always told amazing stories about how much fun the camp was and how on fire for God she was when she would come home. I wish I had heard about Sonlight when I was younger! I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to be a camper at Sonlight. The staff was always so loving, nonjudgemental, and so encouraging. I love Sonlight so much I ended up working for them after high school! I have met life long friends/family at this camp. The cookies are just as great as the people too!
