Elevating Care

MESH (+) Gold Seal

Sonlight has met the required standards to be awarded the MESH (+) Gold Seal! The Sonlight camp experience is built to intentionally promote improved individual well-being by building physical, mental, social, spiritual, environmental, and emotional connections that are fundamental to positive youth development. We’ve completed comprehensive training, implemented evidence-based practices, and created systems that support every person in our community, including the 1 in 5 U.S. children with mental, emotional, behavioral, or developmental challenges.

Our MESH(+) Commitment

Mental, emotional, and social health shape every part of the camp experience at Sonlight Camp. Utilizing the MESH (+) framework, we’ve built programs that provide stability and connection by integrating mind, nature, and spirituality with individual character development and communal engagement. Our team is focused on providing positive childhood experiences to help develop the skills of connection and resilience that enable campers to thrive both at camp and beyond. We maintain ongoing screening processes and care measures that respond to both community and individual camper needs. This preparation allows us to focus on what matters most: camper growth, safety, health, and belonging in an intentionally positive environment where connected care can flourish.

Awarded by the Alliance for Camp Health, the MESH (+) Gold seal is an accomplishment. But beyond a seal. the Sonlight leadership team can point to the positive aspects of programming, camper and staff experiences that show why the work is important. We’re proud to be elevating the level of care we provide at Sonlight!
