Austin Sunshine Camps
Engaging and Empowering Youth through Education and Outdoor Experiences
In 1928, The Young Men’s Business League of Austin recognized the serious community threat of youth tuberculosis and established the Austin Sunshine Camps in Zilker Park, as it was said that exposure to sunshine could promote healing from the disease.
The park provided a space in which local, economically disadvantaged children could gain weight, grow strong, and spend time outdoors. Today, Austin Sunshine Camps is still serving youth living near or below the poverty line.
Our programs enrich the community by encouraging and facilitating the power to succeed through education and healthy living. Austin Sunshine Camps renders the space and comfort kids need to look beyond their current situation and dream big.
Our mission is to engage and empower youth through education and outdoor experiences. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to go to camp. Our camps provide a safe and fun environment for kids to be themselves. We create intentional community, rooted in compassion, that inspires campers to be wildly creative and enjoy everything nature has to offer!
