​SunriseWALKS Greater Washington benefits Sunrise Day Camp-Greater Washington, the world's first full-summer day camp for children with cancer and their siblings, offered completely free of charge.
As a proud member of the Sunrise Association, our mission is to bring back the joys of childhood to children with cancer and their siblings worldwide. Sunrise accomplishes this through the creation and oversight of welcoming, inclusive summer day camps, year-round programs, and in-hospital recreational activities, all offered free of charge.
Sunrise Day Camp
Children with cancer and their siblings live in a world of NO, but at Sunrise Day Camp it's a world of YES! Providing memorable summers since 2006 for children ages 3 1/2 to 16 years old, Sunrise Day Camp brings the simple pleasures of childhood to children struggling with cancer, changing months of loneliness and isolation into summers filled with​ sunshine, laughter and happiness. And because Sunrise is a day camp, it does all this while allowing the children to continue their medical treatment and enjoy the comfort and safety of their own homes at night.
