Camp Sunrise Applications for Summer Camp Program Now Available

Camp Sunrise is a charitable, non-profit organization dedicated to serving children and families impacted by HIV infection and AIDS. It is Ohio’s first and only summer camp program that caters specifically to the needs of children affected by HHIV/AIDS. This unique program provides a therapeutic community where campers have the opportunity to experience relief from the overwhelming emotions associated with HIV/AIDS. Campers are given the opportunity to master new skills and develop new friendships through play, talking, art, drama, games, and traditional camp activities. Camp Sunrise provides holistic programming created to meet the developmental needs of the children in attendance.

A week at Camp Sunrise not only provides the opportunity for campers to enjoy a fun-filled and support-oriented summer camp experience, but it also allows the caregivers of these children time for themselves. The summer camp program is open to children between the ages of 6 and 17 living in the state of Ohio. The program welcomes any child who is living with HIV/AIDS, has a sibling or parent with tHIV/AIDS, or is grieving the loss of a loved one from HIV/AIDS.

Camp Sunrise will be held August 10-16, 2008 at a YMCA camp near Cincinnati.

Tansportation will be provided from Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, Cincinnati, and Lima. For more information, please contact kmckee@atfgc.org or 216-432-9544.
