Episode 3: chatting about... transformative moments.

Over the past two episodes, we've heard powerful stories from families and volunteers, sharing how Camp Sunshine has impacted their lives. They've talked about finding a community of people who truly understand their journey—a place where they feel a deep sense of belonging, connection, and chosen family. We’ve also explored our responsibility as an organization to provide safe, fun environments for children with cancer and heard from some of the incredible medical volunteers who help make that possible. Throughout it all, we’ve felt immense gratitude for the families who trust us with this mission. In this episode, we’re going to dive into the heart of those fun activities we provide at all Camp Sunshine programs throughout the year—the experiences that not only bring joy, but have the power to transform and empower kids, parents, and volunteers alike.

Episode 2: chatting about...building trust.

Today, we’re chatting about decades of building trust. For families navigating a childhood cancer diagnosis, trusting others—whether in the hospital or within the broader community—can feel like an overwhelming challenge. But for over 40 years, Camp Sunshine has worked tirelessly to earn that trust, creating a safe space for children and families to heal and find joy. Camp Sunshine has built strong, trusted relationships with the individuals responsible for taking care of Georgia’s children with cancer, including the exceptional medical teams at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and Dwaine & Cynthia Willett Children’s Hospital of Savannah. These medical professionals have seen firsthand the incredible impact Camp Sunshine has on the lives of children with cancer—and as a result, they’ve been a consistent and passionate advocate for encouraging families to experience the healing power of this organization.   A special thank you to the people who made this episode possible: Host and all-around amazing individual: Rick Dascher Edited by: Kerry Schnitzlein Audio Engineer: Fay Salvaras Sound Editor: Zak Waxman Music: Original music by Jon Allmett.
