Camp Sunshine offers programs for Georgia youth with cancer and their families to give kids a time that they can focus on something other than their medical treatments.
ATLANTA - In-person retreats being "Sunshine" to local families: Camp Sunshine is holding a pair of Family Getaway Retreats this week, each lasting two nights; the first began Sunday and concludes today, and the second is scheduled for Wednesday through Friday. Both retreats are happening at Camp Twin Lakes in Rutledge and are the first in-person events organized by Camp Sunshine since February of 2020. Staffers say both retreats are being operated with strict COVID-19 safety precautions, but offer a long list of activities including biking, fishing, ceramics, horseback riding and even flying through the treetops on the camp’s zipline! Aside from the in-person retreats, Camp Sunshine again offered virtual summer camp this year for juniors and teens, dubbed Sunshine 2.1; both weeks of camp happened earlier this month.
