Past Campers

I've never felt more loved and supported than I do at Camp Sunflower. You can be who you are and not have to worry for even a moment about not being accepted.
— Jai
Well I loved camp because they were so accepting and non-judgemental and they were patient with me and let me open up at my own pace. I met cooler people than I ever have before and it just felt like a safe place I could be myself.
— Casper
Camp Sunflower was a great experience, everybody instantly clicked and even those of us who are typically more introverted or shy were included. There weren't any cliques or anything of the sort, because everyone bonded so quickly. It was a very fun and heartwarming weekend!
— Camille
I’ve never been part of a group that felt like family as quickly as I did when I was at Camp Sunflower.
— Zach
Going to Camp Sunflower was one of the best experiences I've had. I've made friendships that will hopefully last a lifetime.
— Jordan
Camp Sunflower is a home away from home. You make family, not friends. Everyone already loves you as soon as you get there. Finn, the director is phenomenal! He’s very funny, and like an older brother.
