Bigger, Better and an Extra Day!
Shadow Jumpers and the United Porphyria Association have teamed up (again!) for SUN ESCAPE WEEKEND 2025 happening at Victory Junction in North Carolina. This transformative weekend promises to build off last year’s success by expanding camp to 4 days, 3 nights and adding 60% more families!
We are looking for 38 volunteers to join our 32 photo-sensitive families May 1-4 in celebrating all things Fun and all things No Sun in a way only we know how.
Applications will be accepted now through November 20th. If selected, applicants will be notified of next steps in the application process during the week of November 25th.
