Sunrise Northeast, Inc.

Every sense opens a door to a new experience. 

Every sense opens the door to a new experience, and every experience creates an opportunity for joy, discovery, and connection. At Sunrise’s Camp Harkness, summer is more than a season — it’s a chance for adults with disabilities to connect with nature, discover new interests, express themselves, build confidence, and create everlasting memories.

For our campers, summer is more than a season — it’s an opportunity to explore creativity through arts and crafts, connect with nature through gardening and outdoor walks, enjoy the sights, sounds, and fresh air of beach outings, and express themselves through music, movement, and dancing under the stars. A seasonal talent show will celebrate their individuality, creativity, and confidence, creating moments of joy, connection, and lasting memories.

Ultimately, Camp is about creating moments that can be seen, heard, touched, smelled, and tasted—but, most importantly, moments that can be felt in the heart.

During this Thanksgiving season, we are grateful for your gift and for sharing this message with your family, friends, and colleagues. Your generosity helps provide the supplies, materials, equipment, and resources needed to bring these programs to life and ensure that Camp Harkness Summer Camp 2027 can continue offering meaningful experiences. 

But none of this is possible without your contribution.

Give today — and help our campers unlock every sense of summer, one unforgettable memory at a time.
