Welcome to Sunrise Day Camp—Greater Philadelphia

Giving Hope, Strength, and Joy to Children with Cancer and Their Siblings

Who We Are

2025 Camp Dates: June 30 – August 14

Sunrise Day Camp brings the joys of childhood to children with cancer and their siblings in Greater Philadelphia. We offer a welcoming, inclusive summer day camp, year-round programs and in-hospital recreational activities, all completely free of charge.

Sunrise Day Camp is a proud member of Sunrise Association.

Our Promise: 

Every dollar we raise empowers us to say “YES” to every child and family impacted by pediatric cancer during their camp experience.

We are committed to offering comprehensive support for every child, whether that means one-on-one counselor assistance, providing daily transportation to and from camp from hubs throughout the region, or ensuring every camper has the necessary items like bathing suits and towels to participate in all activities.

Together, with extensive resources, medical expertise, support, and a little Sunrise magic, we can allow children fighting cancer the transformative experience and joy of a summer day camp.

Our Impact:

Cancer affects the entire family, bringing financial, emotional, and physical hardships that extend far beyond the initial diagnosis. Sunrise Day Camp’s programming can make a profound difference in the lives of these children and their families, helping them mitigate these impacts, offering children a space to heal, hope, and thrive at no cost to families.

Research indicates that the mental health toll on pediatric cancer patients and their families is substantial, with many experiencing PTSD, anxiety, and depression. The simple joys of childhood fun – laughing, playing, and creating memories – can be profoundly healing for a child’s mental health and offer a much needed reprieve from the rigors of treatment.

Sharing Happiness

Since 2022, we have brought joy to over 5,000 children battling cancer and their siblings across Greater Philadelphia. Check out our impact from our last camp season.
