Community Campout: Camp out to benefit Rochester Rotary Sunshine Camp!


*The event has already taken place on this date: Mon, 09/06/2021
Rochester Rotary is holding a Community Campout this summer to raise awareness of Rochester Rotary Sunshine Camp. By going camping - in a campground, in your backyard, or in your living room - you can help provide a camping experience for area children with physical challenges.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Area residents can go camping and help children with disabilities at the same time.

 As a prelude to Rochester Rotary Sunshine Camp’s 100th anniversary in 2022, Rochester Rotary is holding a Community Campout to raise funds for, and awareness of, the camp. Participating in the campout is easy, as people can participate by:

  • Going camping between Memorial Day and Labor Day – visiting a campground, pitching a tent in the backyard, or holding a day camp inside or outside of their home.
  • Taking a picture and posting it on Facebook or Instagram, including the #SunshineCampout hashtag in their post, and tagging Sunshine Camp (@rotarysunshinecamp).
  • Pledging $25 to Rochester Rotary Sunshine Camp - donations can be made at sunshinecamp.org.
  • Challenging family members, friends and colleagues to camp out as well.

People who post an image will be entered into a random drawing for one of two giveaways: 1) a $100 Dick’s Sporting Goods gift card or 2) a day of fun at Sunshine Camp for up to 50 people. No pledge or donation is necessary to be entered in the drawing; the two winners will be chosen at random.

 About Rochester Rotary Sunshine Camp
