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

Rating: 5 stars  

Started at Camp Sunshine when my 12 yr old daughter got Leukemia (2005). I wouldn't wish this disease on anyone but without it I would never have experience the enormous love & compasion we received from the staff & volunteers at Camp. The best cross-section of humanity that I've ever encountered. We loved it as a family. It had emotional healing for everyone not just my daughter. Kids bonded immediately with the others. Never, ever found a better environment for siblings of sick kids. They get left behind so much during the treatments, but not at Camp. Parent share advice. What has worked, what hasn't. You can't get that kind of feedback from doctors. Then when we returned, it was if no time had elapsed, we picked up right where we left off. They are family. Now returning as a volunteer. I love giving back to the place that helped us out so much. One my top ten places on earth. Truly life-changing. Go Camp Sunshine!
