As a fellow non-profit it is incredible to work with Camp Sunshine! Our experience with the staff is incredible. Anne Howley gives extra special attention to the detail of each family we work together on. Arranging free air transportation to a free camp for families with life threatening illnesses has been nothing but a win-win. Feedback from families is that they would not be able to go and enjoy the full program as Maine is often times states away from where they are. PALS (Patient Airlift Services) proudly partners with Camp Sunshine to make sure they enjoy that time of hope and healing as a family.

Camp Sunshine provides a beautiful space and supportive opportunites for families impacted by illness and loss. I have worked with many families that sought refuge at Camp Sunshine and they had only wonderful words to describe their experiences. It was not until I went to Camp Sunshine that I was able to fully appreciate what uniquely special place it is.
