About
Sunshine Day Camp offers daily theme days, rallies, and weekly dress-up days, along with activities such as optional field trips, special guest entertainers, and Kona Ice truck visits.

The program also offers before and after school care and on-site care during school breaks.
• Ages: 5–11 years old
• Schedule: Summer camp programs are open Monday–Friday, from 7am–6pm.
Sunshine Day Camp has been serving families and children of the Santa Clarita Valley since 1984 and offers over 40 years of summer camp programs. The program provides quality school-age (TK–6th grade) and summer camp programs in a balanced environment, with children organized in small groups by grade or age and typical ratios of around 10 children to 1 adult. Each location uses kid-friendly, climate-controlled indoor facilities that are safe and decorated throughout the day.
Each employee undergoes a rigorous background check and training process on topics such as positive reinforcement, appropriate discipline techniques, effective child supervision, and child development education. Sunshine Day Camp operates as a licensed childcare under the requirements of the State of California, and staff are described as sensitive, caring, and enthusiastic leaders. The program includes a character program with monthly character traits built into its structure.
The mission of Sunshine Day Camp is to provide an environment where academic excellence, socialization, and character training work together to produce a well educated, responsible, and respectful child. The program states that it strives to be a place where parents are excited about leaving their children because they know they will be cared for in a safe and loving environment, and it aims to shape a secure, moral, and “special” atmosphere that each child looks forward to every day.
Parents describe Sunshine Day Camp as a trusting child care provider where children enjoy attending and sometimes want to stay longer, and one parent states they would not move their child out of the program. Another parent notes that their three children have attended and that the staff and facilities promote a positive, fun, structured environment with an emphasis on building character and doing things with a “Happy Heart.” A third parent compliments the program and staff and states that Sunshine Day Camp has brought enjoyment to children and parents in the Santa Clarita Valley.
