Sunrise-Israel Day Camps: Where Dreams Take Flight
Each Sunrise-Israel Day Camp is a “Land of YES,” where sick children and their healthy siblings experience the full vibrancy of summer regardless of their cancer. From arts and crafts to pool days, science fun and sports adventures, we turn days of treatment into days of triumph. Every moment at camp creates a precious childhood memory, strengthening the children’s emotional resilience and social health, vital components of their healing journey. And for parents, it’s a moment to recharge, a chance to breathe, knowing their children are well cared for in a medically supervised summer day camp that asks for nothing in return but their smiles.
First established in 2010, Sunrise-Israel – the only day-camp of its kind in Israel – now boasts three camps across the country, caring for children ages 3½ to 17, from over 70 communities. Providing joyous magic to thousands of brave Israeli children, Sunrise-Israel has grown into a symbol of hope across the country.
