About Arizona Camp Sunrise and Sidekicks

Arizona Camp Sunrise and Sidekicks is the first camp in Arizona for children with cancer. Founded in 1983, the inaugural camping experience took place in the White Mountains with 23 cancer patients and 8 staff members sleeping in tents. Two years later, the camp moved to the R-C Scout Ranch which now includes seven cabins, a dining hall with kitchen and a health center. Find out more about the camp and donation / volunteer opportunities at azcampsunrise.org.
