Happy St. Patrick's Day! We hope you have the luckiest of days! And we also hope you circle AUGUST 8-11 on your calendar because planning for our 2024 camp is well underway.

Today, we said goodbye to our dear friend & long-time #SunshineArk committee member Becky O'Bar. Becky showed loved our campers as though they were her own. Most of our campers have never experienced a camp without Becky's presence or influence. We will miss her greatly.

Sunset on this St. Patrick's Day is 12 hours and one minute after sunrise, which means this is the first day of the year with more sunshine than darkness! And, as you might have guessed, that's how we like it at Camp #SUNshineArk. 😉

We want to give a huge THANK YOU to the @CityofCabot #firefighters, who donated $5,000 from the sales & sponsorships of their 2023 calendar to support Camp #SunshineArk! Our campers attend camp at no cost thanks to the support of people like the Cabot firefighters! THANK YOU!

TODAY IS A BIG DAY! Our hard-working camp committee met this afternoon for their first planning meeting of the year, which is a good thing because Camp #SunshineArk starts EXACTLY 25 WEEKS from today! Does anyone else hear sleigh bells? 🛷🔔🎅😏 #IAFF #BurnCamp

Our Camp #SunshineArk family has lost a dear friend. Phil Christensen, Chief of @FortSmithFire & a former President of #IAFF Local 33, died following a battle with occupational cancer. Chief Christensen has been a great friend to camp & he will be missed by all that knew him.

Shannon Smith, our new camp director, spoke to @ARKfirefighters this afternoon. The #Arkansas Professional Fire Fighters' sponsorship of Camp #SunshineArk allows each of our campers to attend camp at no cost to their family. #IAFF

Camp Moonlight!? 🌜⭐️🧐 Nah... We were just April fooling! 😬🤭😝 All jokes aside, AUGUST 11-14 are shaping up to be some seriously SWEET 🍦 days as we *ALL* come back together -- campers, counselors & volunteers -- to CAMP SUNSHINE for first time since 2019!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: After careful consideration regarding the dangers of sunshine (sunburns, heat stroke & the ability to turn grapes into raisins), we are formally announcing a new name for our camp -- CAMP MOONLIGHT #ARKANSAS!

Our 2022 camp is only 22 weeks away! We don't want to let too much out of the bag yet... but we can say that with the restrictions of the last two years lifted, camp is going to be a SWEET TREAT!

CAMP IS IN SESSION! A visit by the A-State Boys M/C is one of our camp traditions. This year, the motorcycles paraded around camp and by the cabins, where our campers watched and showed their appreciation.

TOMORROW is the day! Hurray!

Guess how many sleeps stand between us and camp? 😉

Camp #SunshineArk has called THREE places home since 1991! After two years at @FerncliffCamp, we spent 16 great years at @ar4hcenter. We moved to @CampAldersgate for our 2009 #BurnCamp & that's where we'll be in THREE DAYS thanks to @ARKfirefighters & its #IAFF locals!
