Camp Sunshine is a partner of Camp Twin Lakes enriches the lives of children with cancer and their families through recreational, educational and support programs allowing them to share similar experiences and to participate in activities that promote normal childhood development as they cope with the challenges of childhood cancer.
Camp Sunshine staff consists almost entirely of volunteers who donate their time and talent to create unforgettable memories for children with cancer and their families. Hundreds of dedicated volunteers participate in our programs each year. Many return again and again. They help with summer camp, family camp weekends, teen retreats, Camp Sunshine House programs and special events throughout the year. All of our programs are dependent on a willing community of volunteers.
Camp Sunshine is a partner of Camp Twin Lakes and utilizes their camp facility in Rutledge, Georgia, located approximately fifty miles east of Atlanta. Camp Twin Lakes opened its doors to special needs children in 1993, and provides a totally accessible facility - a modern camp with air-conditioned cabins, nestled in the country. Here, one can find many of the same activities found at traditional summer camps like swimming, archery, horseback riding, tennis, pottery, and of course, fishing.
