About
Horizon Day Camp-Baltimore is a full-summer day camp where children take part in music, arts and crafts, sports, swimming, and nature activities. The program is for children with cancer and their siblings and is structured so that children can attend camp as often as they can, with the program set up so that no one misses out because of an absence.
• Ages: 3 1/2–16 years old
• Schedule: Seven-week summer day camp season with Monday–Friday hours from approximately 9:30am–3:45pm, with extended hours available from around 7:30am to as late as 6:30pm
• Price: All offered free of charge.
Horizon Day Camp-Baltimore is a seven-week summer day camp for children with cancer and their siblings who are in active or follow-up treatment for cancer. All programs, including the summer camp, year-round Horizon Fun-days, in-hospital activities through Horizon on Wheels, and SunriseVX virtual summer experience hosted by the Sunrise Association, are offered at no charge to families. Free transportation is available for Fun-days if needed.
The camp is staffed by counselors, specialists, assistants, and volunteers who are specially trained prior to the camp’s opening, and the on-site Directors have extensive experience with children and camping. The staff-to-camper ratio often exceeds 1:4, and special arrangements can be made for children who require more extensive supervision. The leadership team includes Mark McElrath (Executive Director), Jill Rosato Huey (Director of Development), Fran Sonnenschein (Horizon on Wheels Coordinator – Baltimore), Shayna Gruner (Camp Director), Lisa Kadish (Camp Registrar), and Gabby Reagoso (HorizonWALKS Coordinator).
Horizon Day Camp-Baltimore is a proud member of the Sunrise Association, whose mission is to bring back the joys of childhood to children with cancer and their siblings worldwide through summer day camps, year-round programs, and in-hospital recreational activities, all offered free of charge. Horizon Day Camp-Baltimore started in 2016, and since 2015 Horizon Day Camp has brought joy to over 5,000 children battling cancer and their siblings across Maryland. Horizon relies 100% on donations, and every dollar raised supports families in Maryland. One camper family shared, “The best thing about camp this summer was the abundance of joy and anticipation that all of my children experienced every camp day!”
