Nicole and Aaron – Sunrise Day Camp-Long Island
It all started on Orientation Day 2014, when Aaron first laid eyes on Nicole, who was standing all by herself. While Aaron had been a camper turned counselor, this was only Nicole’s first year at Sunrise Day Camp. What started off as a good friendship blossomed into a beautiful love story.
Nicole credits Justin, a special camper who suffered from brain cancer, for bringing the two together. “Our relationship really blossomed in taking care of Justin. I knew in my heart he was a special soul. Aaron and I took turns taking care of him.”
Although Aaron and Nicole met in the summer of 2014, their love story didn’t unfold until February 2015. Seven years later, the two are going strong with their wonderful dog, Jessie. They continue to honor the magic of Sunrise by donating every year and participating in the walks.
“Sunrise is in our blood. It’s our story, and we are forever grateful for everything it’s given to us and the campers!” No matter how many years go by, the magic and love of Sunrise continue to shine on our campers and counselors alike.
Even across the pond, Sunrise is inspiring love stories.
