Camp Funshine Volunteer Opportunities

     Funshine Day Camp, June 22-25 2026.  Celebrating 26 years of camping fun!
What is Summer Funshine Day Camp?  It is designed to provide recreational and educational opportunities for persons of all ages with developmental disabilities. Our hope is that participants quality of life will be enhanced through fellowship where everyone is loved, affirmed and valued.
     The need for folks to be INCLUDED rather than EXCLUDED prompted people to join in prayer for a solution to this problem being experienced by people in our area.  Through God’s guidance and grace, “Funshine” has served increasing numbers of campers with disabilities over the years at no cost to participants.  The good Lord has abundantly supplied their needs.
The past 24 years, Camp Funshine was held at Patience Park Campground in South Toe.
     Due to Hurricane Helene and the destruction, the campground was lost.  The volunteers and families of Camp Funshine prayed for a new permanent location.  Their prayers were heard.
     Camp Funshine will be held at the West Yancey Volunteer Fire Department Training Center, 6553 US Hwy 19, Burnsville.  We encourage anyone that would like to see what “Funshine” is all about to join us as a volunteer.  Volunteer applications may be picked up in the Family Life Center or in the church office.  If you would like to volunteer, please return applications to the church office by June 5th.  If you have any questions, you may contact Jeanne Proffitt @ 828-284-5366 or [email protected]
