Camp Sunshine
SDSF and other SDS families attend Camp Sunshine in Casco, Maine every two years (even years). Attending Camp Sunshine is a great opportunity to meet other families and share your SDS journey with them. See old friends, make new ones and talk to medical experts while your children are cared for and entertained. This is a FABULOUS week for the entire family! SDSF encourages SDS families to attend Camp Sunshine. The only cost to SDS families is transportation to and from Camp.
Applications will be available on the Camp Sunshine Applications page. Check back regularly to see when it is available.
