Sunshine Day Camp has been my home since 2013. I quickly learned that this program and the staff had something special. This company has a great way of caring for their staff and leading them well–as both the owner and directors of the company have walked in our shoes as counselors themselves. I can truly say that Sunshine Day Camp makes a positive and lasting difference, not only for the families and children attending, but especially for the lucky staff who get to be a part of it all.

Sunshine Day Camp does an amazing job at making each employee feel recognized, encouraged, and supported. Every birthday and accomplishment–big or small–is celebrated by the team. To be able to put your own needs aside for the needs of children and co-workers reveals the overall character of the individuals I am fortunate enough to be surrounded by each day.

I have worked at Sunshine Day Camp for two years, and I have found it to be a great learning environment for the kids, as well as myself. It has its challenges like any work area, but Sunshine has a way of bringing out the best in all of us. I have learned that Sunshine Day Camp is a place where I can come to let out my fun-loving, zany self and make great relationships with the kids, the parents, and my fellow staff members. It’s a big Sunshine family!
