Camp Sonshine is on a mission.
Surrounded by 60 acres of open fields, natural woods and flowing streams, Camp Sonshine has become one of the largest and
fastest growing Christian day camps in the country. But it’s no wonder – 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 for the endless generations to come.
The Vision.
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. And with
God’s help, his vision became a reality.
From a modest beginning of 25 children in his mother’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. |

Camp Sonshine Guatemala
Each November, a special group from Camp Sonshine’s staff departs for
Prince of Peace Home for Girls, located about 30 minutes outside of
Guatemala’s capital, Guatemala City. This “traveling” Camp Sonshine is a
blessing for about 50 abused and abandoned girls who have grown up in very unfortunate circumstances. Camp Sonshine Guatemala has been running for over seven years.
Camp Sonshine South Africa
Cape Town, South Africa is the stop for another team of Camp Sonshiners who bring smiles and laughter to over 80 children every January. Cape Youth Care is a facility set up much like the Boys and Girls’ Club of America – for a full week, the children of Cape Youth Care experience fun, excitement and God's love in ways they never imagined. In 2005, Camp Sonshine launchedh a year-round Cape Youth Care.
Camp Sonshine Philippines
Based in Iloilo City, Philippines, Jesse and Kay Landis along with their daughters Cora and Ember run Camp Sonshine, Philippines on a
year-round basis. In the summer of 2005, they opened the "Sonshine Center", a youth center to house their vision of providing a permanent place for many of Iloilo City’s desperate children. The camp, which is held in the spring of each year, travels throughout the Philippines providing thousands of children with memories that will last a lifetime.
