This is camp.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!  That’s the sound of the big bass drum as it leads the procession around the circle of cabins.  One after the other, children file out from their cabins and join the march as the procession snakes its way to the parade ground.  After the laughter, and early morning chatter dies down, the next sound is voices.  Voices of over 160 children lifted in the singing of “O Canada”. The flag is raised over the campground. The next sound is a quiet voice of a boy or girl reading a short scripture verse and a Counselor leading a prayer for the day. This is followed by Recreation Director Mark Touzeau leading the children in “The Banana Dance” to line up for their breakfast in Rotary Hall where a sumptuous meal awaits them.
This is the beginning of a new day at Camp Sunrise.

“Camp Sunrise exists to provide a sheltered Christian community where youth and adults can retreat to experience the love of God and the fellowship of other Christians.”

The statement, posted on the Camp Sunrise website is part of the Camp’s Mission

Camper Story

My Story.

Camp Sunrise has been so vital in my life and for my family. I did not grow up in a Christian home. I grew up in a home of abuse, addiction and poverty. The Salvation Army reached out to my mom, who, at the time, was a single parent on welfare and gave us the opportunity to attend Moms and Tots camp at Camp Sunrise.My mom was so grateful for this opportunity and because of our situation she couldn't pay back financially, so as a thank you, we started attending church at the Salvation Army. I was 5. I continued to attend Camp Sunrise graduating from Moms and Tots, to Holiday Camps to Teen Camp and most recently being on Camp Staff. I can honestly say that if it wasn't for Camp Sunrise both my mom and myself would not be in the place we are now. This is a place of freedom and of acceptance. Now 21 years later we are both active members of the Salvation Army. Currently, I live in Victoria working with the Salvation Army in an iniative to prevent at-risk youth from hitting the streets and to intervene in the youth already there. At Camp Sunrise I learned about who Jesus is, and what it means to be Christian. It was at Camp Sunrise where I first felt that presence of the LORD. Sadly, the time has come for me to move on from working at Camp Sunrise, but every opportunity I have to up there, I am on it.
