JUNIOR CAMP (Ages 2-5) and CHILDREN’S CAMP (Grades 1-6th )
Whoever thought camp could be this fun? Enjoy your time at camp as you make new friends, learn from God’s Word, and experience fun the old-fashioned way! Each day you will learn new skills, swim in our camp pool, enjoy some free time with your friends, and go wild in our camp games and activities!
TEEN CAMP: Grades 7-12th
Camp doesn’t have to end just because you’re a teen! Day Camp Sunshine’s Teen Program is designed for young people entering 7th grade and older. It offers many of the same programs as the Children’s Camp, but with more age-appropriate activities and more in-depth Bible studies. Weekly field trips include the beach, natural and historical parks, and local area attractions. Our mature staff connects with your teens, while encouraging them to make new friends, learn new skills, and develop a closer relationship with God.
Counselors: A staff of dedicated and responsible Christians, consisting of teachers, college students and mature high school students is carefully chosen to carry out our philosophy of camping. Our staff is part of what makes our camp so special. The friendships formed between camp staff and campers are genuine and lasting. Campers want to return and continue the friendships formed at Day Camp Sunshine.
NOTE TO PARENTS:
We care about the overall health and safety of your child. Children are under the supervision of trained counselors at all times. Counselors are trained in camp programming, child development, and emergency procedures. All counselors must go through a screening process, which includes reference and background checks. Campers are put into groups according to grade and gender. Two staff members work with each group, and the ratio of counselors to campers is approximately 1:8.
Day Camp Sunshine is certified by the State of New Jersey and undergoes inspections by the Local and State Officials to ensure compliance with State and Local guidelines. Lifeguards are on duty during all swimming and water activities. Certified First Aid and CPR personnel are on duty throughout the day. Day Camp Sunshine establishes agreements with nearby medical clinics to handle minor injuries (with parents consent), and the Liberty Corner First Aid Squad, located across the street, is called for serious injuries. We are also a member in good standing with Christian Camp and Conference Association.
Doctrinal Statement (what we believe)
Doctrinal Statement of Day Camp Sunshine.
Holy Trinity — God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit
We believe in the one true and living God, eternally existent in three persons, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, coequal from all eternity, three distinct persons, but of one essence.
The Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ, his:Deity, Virgin Birth, Sinless Life, Vicarious Death, Actual Burial, Glorious Resurrection – bodily, Triumphant Ascension – bodily, Promised return for the church,
We believe that Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God and He is Himself very God; He took upon Himself our nature, being conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary; He died upon the cross as a sinless vicarious sacrifice for sinners; He arose from the dead in the same body in which He was crucified; He ascended into heaven in that body glorified where He now sits as supreme over all authority in heaven and earth and where He is now our interceding High Priest. He will come again personally and visibly to set up His Kingdom and to judge the quick and the dead.
The Holy Spirit, eternally co-equal with the Father and Son, regenerates, indwells, equips and empowers the Believer in Jesus Christ,
We believe in God the Holy Spirit, eternally coequal with God the Father and God the Son, who convicts sinners, and baptizes all true believers into the one true Church, sealing them until the day of final redemption, living within them, sanctifying them for holy living, imparting spiritual gifts to them and empowering them for effective service.
The verbal and plenary inspiration of the Holy Scriptures,
We believe that the Holy Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are the written Word of God, every word fully inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts, and the sole, infallible rule of faith and practice.
Salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone,
We believe that salvation can only be found in Jesus Christ, by grace, through faith alone.
The church universal which is the mystical body of Christ on earth, composed of all true believers,
We believe that the Church Universal is composed of those who have placed saving faith in Jesus Christ and are united together in Christ as one Body. The Church and its members are commissioned to make disciples of all nations.
The destiny of believers — Eternal Bliss,
The destiny of unbelievers — Eternal Punishment.
