Summer of Adventures

Percy’s summer at Sunnyhill Adventures was a triumph of determination. Overcoming past barriers, he embraced inclusive activities tailored to his abilities. The zipline transformed into a thrilling journey, the pool a welcoming space for aquatic enjoyment, and nature a serene backdrop for exploration. Percy’s love for music and the camp’s supportive atmosphere resonated in every moment, making saying goodbye challenging. By the second week, he seamlessly merged into the camp’s community, forming meaningful connections and crafting a kaleidoscope of cherished memories.

Noah’s Sunnyhill Adventures experience was a celebration of triumphs. He extended his stays through three visits, culminating in an empowering overnight experience. Among the varied activities, the zipline emerged as a symbol of personal victory. Noah’s steadfast commitment to surpassing his “Challenge by Choice” goals and embracing new adventures is a testament to the spirit of resilience.

In collaboration with our diverse team of international counselors, Sunnyhill creates extraordinary inclusive adventures, fostering an environment where every individual can revel in shared experiences and cultivate lifelong connections to create transformative experiences. 33-57% of people diagnosed with a disability live a sedentary lifestyle due to a lack of accessible recreation and programs, highlighting the impact of Sunnyhill Adventures Summer Camp.
