From Sunrise...

The Camp Website

Our Facebook Page


Dear Community,

First, the organizing team for Sunrise camp we would like to thank you for all the support that sunrise camp has thus far received from the community - all those people who bought raffle tickets (and we're sorry there were only 5 prizes), people who've sent us donations and people who've helped with publicity - handing out flyers and posting links for us, said nice things about us (and to us) and probably a few more that we are forgetting - we are hugely grateful!

And we need to ask for more support - currently the camp is about 9 people away from break even point, with 6 weeks to go before camp starts, we are decidedly anxious (the organising team is financially liable for the venture, and none of us have any spare cash).

we have crunched numbers back and forwards many times, and are running at our bare minimum, with no extras - both the org and teaching teams are donating their time for free.

We are committed to Sunrise camp going ahead in one form or other regardless of bookings - and we are really hoping that we will find enough extra people so that camp can go ahead as originally planned with 6 teachers and three paths, and many happy campers, that is our vision! If this is not the case we will have to make some changes to the structure of camp (not its length) and the size of our teaching team.

If you are planning on coming to camp and havn't yet booked, please do so! or at least drop us a line to let us know you are intending to come and a booking will follow!

If you want to come to camp and can't quite make the fees, please contact us, we can't promise much, but we are committed as a group to making camp as accessible as possible, so it's possible we might be able to work something out.

if you can't come to camp, but would like to support us, perhaps you would like to consider making a donation to the cause, or donating something to the camp raffle/fundraising.

perhaps you could put some flyers or posters in local shops or give then out at local events - we have pdf's of flyers to print out, or drop us a line with your mailing address and we can put some in the post to you.

and of course! positive energy and magic for Sunrise camps sucess is always welcome and appreicated.

with thanks and gratitude,

the sunrise camp org team
