The mission of the Sunrise Association is to bring back the joys of childhood to children with cancer and their siblings world-wide, through the creation of Sunrise Day Camps, Year-Round Programs and In-Hospital Recreational Activities, all offered free of charge. 

We've provided memorable summers since 2006 for children ages 3 ½ -16! Sunrise Association Day Camps and year-round programs bring back childhood pleasures to children struggling with cancer. Sunrise changes months of loneliness and isolation into summers filled with sunshine, laughter and happiness. Since they are day camps, children can continue their medical treatment and enjoy the comfort and safety of their own homes at night.

There are currently eight Sunrise Association Day Camps – three in New York (Long Island, Pearl River and Staten Island), three in Israel (Beit Yehoshuah, Be’er Sheva and Ramat Yochanan), Horizon Day Camp in Baltimore, Maryland, and Aurora Day Camp in Atlanta, Georgia.

Our camps are affiliated with 36 renowned hospitals and medical centers. Sunrise Sundays and Fun-days offer children exciting activities and events when school is not in session. Sunrise on Wheels is one-of-a-kind and provides hours of Sunrise-fun to children undergoing treatment in pediatric oncology units of participating hospitals.
