Join us as we escape into Austin Sunshine Camps! 🎙️
We’re excited to welcome David Roberts, Chief Development Officer at Austin Sunshine Camps, to the conversation!
Austin Sunshine Camps creates life-changing experiences by offering the joy of overnight camp—completely free for kids who need it most. With 90% of campers coming from low-income families and many in foster care, ASC provides a safe space to build resilience, form lasting friendships, and simply be kids—all while fostering confidence, connection, and big dreams for the future.
3 incredible ways Austin Sunshine Camps makes an impact:
⛺ Free Summer Camps – Overnight camp experiences for youth ages 8–15 at no cost, focused on fun, growth, and connection.
🧡 Community & Belonging – Campers learn to build healthy relationships and feel empowered in a space where they are celebrated.
🌟 Counselors-in-Training – Leadership opportunities for teens 16–17 to build skills and give back as future camp mentors.
