Be a Part of a Life-Changing Summer at Camp Rising Sun
The summer season at Camp Rising Sun is always our most exciting time of year! This year, we’ll be welcoming campers from all over the world to both our in-person campus in Rhinebeck, New York, and our virtual campus. Our campers are young people who are eager to dive into their own personal growth, to engage in experiential learning as they expand their leadership abilities and values, and to connect with peers from cultures different than their own.
Your support is needed to help us make this the summer of a lifetime for our campers. Please consider a donation today to fuel our program’s success and to create a more compassionate world that starts with the young people we serve.
Thank you, as always, for your contributions that help us to provide transformational experiences at Camp Rising Sun!
