All Fun and No Sun

Shadow Jumpers and the United Porphyrias Association have teamed up (again) for a transformative weekend at Victory Junction for Photo Sensitive children (ages 6-16) in North America. Sun Escape is a 4 Day 3 Night camp experience that creates a community of fun, imagination, creativity and a positive perspective towards our campers’ unique circumstances with the sun.

All of our camp activities are purposely indoors or set purposefully in the late evening. Those activities include archery, horseback riding, zip lining, fishing, bowling, an indoor super dome, a petting zoo, arts & crafts and, in 2025, a water park.

From coverings on exposed windows and providing every child with a UV umbrella to providing transportation around the Camp Grounds and even noting all the indoor lighting, Sun Escape wastes no resource to make sure we take all the sun out of the weekend’s fun.

Here the sun wont find you….but hopefully adventure will!

Families Apply Today

May 1-4, 2025

Thursday at 5pm to Sunday at Noon

Building off last year’s success we are going bigger and better (plus an extra day)

We are looking for 32 photo-sensitive families from across North America to join us in celebrating all things Fun and all things No Sun in a way only we know how.

We are looking for 40 adult volunteers that are connected to the photo-sensitive community to help us at Sun Escape. Whether you are a patient with one of these conditions, have someone in your family or work in a related professional field, your experience and mentorship can help impact our campers. All sun escape volunteers will receive between $500-$600 in air travel and mileage reimbursement.

The Best Part About Sun Escape Is our Price Tag For Families

No Family ever pays to attend sun escape and 100% of their reasonable travel expenses are reimbursed.

Which is fantastic, of course. But it also adds up to some very real reasons we need the financial support of lots of big-hearted people and organizations (like you!)
