Pray
For the Sonlight Leadership. In this season of loss and complications, that we would remain creative, thoughtful and mindful of the needs of our camper families.
Send a note
Encouragement to our staff goes a long way. We missed seeing all of you this summer and hope you are all doing well! Camper Mail is a highlight of a typical summer day, and the same is true whenever we hear from our families.

Donations
The COVID Relief Fund is sustaining our operations through this time. Sonlight has curtailed spending, simplified programming and is working to cut costs wherever possible, including salaries. These funds are designated in a way that allows them to be applied to current operating expenses and intended to float us through this season of unprecedented income loss.
Vehicles
The average age of our camp vehicles is 20 years old. Our “fleet” includes 2 SUV type vehicles and 1 work pick-up truck. While they may have a few miles left on them, they also need some work, and for some, replacements may be needed sooner rather than later. We are in need of sturdy vehicles (y’all remember that drive down 4 Mile Road?). If you might have one to donate, or want to donate specifically to this need, please let us know.
Buffet food service equipment
Current food service regulations mandate staff served buffet style meals. We are grateful that we have been able to borrow equipment from the Archuleta School District for the summer, but as we look to future seasons, and no end of the family style dining restrictions in sight, we anticipate the need for our own equipment. We’ve set up an Amazon Wish List for the sizes and types of pans and equipment that we will need, but welcome donations from any source – including stuff that may be collecting dust in your garage!
