Camp Sunshine is pleased to announce the 2011 Virginia Polar Dip. We believe that together we can send many more children with life-threatening illnesses and their families to our one-of-a-kind retreat in Maine. To date, the Virginia Polar Dip has raised over $73,000! This year, our goal is to raise $75,000 which will allow 37 families from the VA/MD/DC area to come to Camp Sunshine.

Why a Virginia based event for a camp in Maine?

Since the start of Camp Sunshine in 1984, we have provided a haven for more than 35,000 family members from 48 states and 22 countries. Sadly, even with multiple sessions being added annually at Camp Sunshine, there are still many more children being newly diagnosed each year. Our program continues to be recommended by more than 100 treatment centers across the nation.

Our program is recommended by the following Virginia-area treatment centers: University of Virginia Children's Hospital, Georgetown University Hospital, NOVA-Fairfax Hospital, Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters, Medical College of Virginia, Children's National Medical Center in D.C., Alfred I. DuPont Hospital for Children in Delaware, Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Maryland, and University of Maryland Hospital for Children.
