Review for Camp Sunshine at Sebago Lake Inc, Casco, ME, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Not only am I a "client served" but I also volunteered at Camp Sunshine, and every year, I look forward to their "AJ's Polar Plunge." My brother had cancer from 1999 until his death in 2005. I remember the old trailers that provide memories for my first camp memories; they smelled bad and had some gnats outside, but it was a great place for my family to be a real family, not just the splintered group of people fighting to keep my brother alive that we were most of the time. I met the love of my life there on a teen bereavement retreat. The smiles I have seen from hundreds of families in my 4 visits there plus the the polar plunges make it much easier to remember my brother's situation fondly, as painful as it was. Camp Sunshine is a place where people go to ease their pains and heal their souls; those who run the camp do an amazing job at allowing this place to grow, and I couldn't be prouder to give them a high rating.
