Camp Sunshine is a non-profit retreat and camp located on the shore of Sebago Lake, Maine that provides children with life-threatening illnesses and their immediate families hope for the future, as well as immediate help in dealing with a child's chronic illness. The camp is currently the only program in the United States that aids in lightening the impact of a life-threatening illness on a person's entire immediate family, not just the person with the illness.
Famous quotes containing the words camp and/or sunshine:
“The triumphs of peace have been in some proximity to war. Whilst the hand was still familiar with the sword-hilt, whilst the habits of the camp were still visible in the port and complexion of the gentleman, his intellectual power culminated; the compression and tension of these stern conditions is a training for the finest and softest arts, and can rarely be compensated in tranquil times, except by some analogous vigor drawn from occupations as hardy as war.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“There would be no sunshine in society if the born flatterers, I mean the so-called amiable people, did not bring it in with them.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
