Testimonials

“We can’t wait to come back next year!! My child had a blast even in the midst of his health concerns. I DID TOO! Helping him online took some of the stress out of my day. The staff are AWESOME HUMANS!!”

“She was beaming with joy today! She’s a great kid who has had a hard time making friends here in our new hometown. She didn’t want to do any other camps because they aren’t like Sunrise, as she says, and she is always right! Thank you for making her feel so welcome!!”

“What I loved about SunriseVX this summer was the start up, level of communication, the engagement from all of the staff...AMAZING!!!”

“Thank you so much for the awesome projects, motivation and healing energy for the past few weeks. All of you are Amazing!❤️”
