The Sunshine Fund ensures children and young adults can enjoy a summer camp experience, regardless of their financial circumstances. This annual subscription covers the majority of the costs, with a first payment of $205.00 plus GST for one year, automatically renewing at $233.00 plus GST every 52 weeks. The offer is available to new and returning subscribers, with cancellation possible at any time.

Campers have fond memories of swimming, archery, camp-wide games, and delicious meals. Some campers, like Danica Taylor, Annaleia Monette, and Nile Fehr, were able to participate in activities they wouldn't normally have access to, such as water activities, pizza, and pizza, respectively. The Free Press has also spoken to mothers from various backgrounds, all wanting to provide their children with a camp experience.

The Sunshine Fund has played a crucial role in making this possible for numerous families. Fifteen-year-old Danica Taylor gained confidence along with new friends, while Annaleia Monette had a whole week dedicated to water activities. Nile Fehr enjoyed copious amounts of pizza at Winkler Bible Camp. Circle Square Ranch allowed Leelan and Foster Palendat to ride horses, while Roseau River Bible Camp provided rope courses and BMX biking opportunities for Charley and Averi Morris.

Lastly, Ocean and Lake Gearo experienced the thrill of zip-lining at Camp Arnes. These experiences, facilitated by the Sunshine Fund, allow children to make lasting friendships and strengthen their faith through a week-long sleepover that they eagerly anticipate returning to the following year.
