Our family had the opportunity to attend Camp Sunshine's family weekend a couple of weeks ago. This amazing organization has summer camps for children with cancer and their siblings, and family camps in the spring and fall. The volunteers were wonderful! We are so thankful for all of these sweet people, giving up their weekend to volunteer so that we might have a break from life and get to make awesome memories as a family.
We got to stay in a summer camp cabin. It was really fun!
They had so many activities from which to choose. Each of the kids had their favorite.
Evan was thrilled about the gold panning.
Lauren loved the tennis.
Everyone loved the archery and rock climbing.
Our favorite activity was the police dogs. A former Camp Sunshine camper brought his fellow officers to demonstrate how their K-9 unit dogs worked. The discipline and precision they have trained in these dogs was incredible! We loved getting to meet and talk with the officers - Hannah especially. These special men gave up their whole Saturday, drove three hours, and spent all afternoon showing us their dogs (with it raining on and off)! They were so sweet to spend time with Hannah. She fell in love with them!
