Favorite summer camp in Broward

Sunshine Child Programs is the proud winner of the 2026 South Florida Favorites award for Best Summer Camp, Best Daycare, Favorite Customer Service and Favorite Nonprofit Organization. We have been a trusted nonprofit in Broward County since 1992.

Sunshine is a not-for-profit child care provider that has been providing superior school-age child care programs in Broward County since 1992.

All registrations can be completed at https://www.ezchildtrack.com/sunshineasc/parent/. Detailed instructions are available on our site.

Yes. Sunshine runs CSC Grant Funded Camps for qualifying families, funded by the Children’s Services Council of Broward County, and accepts Early Learning Coalition (ELC) financial assistance at participating locations. See our CSC funded locations and ELC participating locations to find a site and apply.

Payments are due the Friday before each week of camp. Your account will be auto-charged; if your child does not attend, the charge is removed at the end of the week.

There are no refunds or credits unless you provide a doctor’s note for illness, or you request to move a payment to another week prior to the start of the paid week.

Sunshine does not offer daily rates for camp.

Most locations are open 7:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Drop-off and pick-up within these hours are included in your weekly charge. All campers MUST arrive by 8:45 a.m. (Recreational) or 8:15 a.m. (CSC).

CSC camps accept K-5th grade. Recreational camps accept K-7th grade. If a 4-year-old turns 5 in the summer and is entering Kindergarten, they can be registered.

Campers are grouped by the grade level they are entering the next school year.

Shirts are provided on the first two days of camp during pick-up. They must be worn on all field trips and over swimwear on water park days.

Safety is our #1 priority. Staff undergo Level 2 FBI background checks and are trained in CPR/First Aid, Child Abuse prevention, and Water Safety. We use official Broward School buses for field trips.

We provide a 1:20 ratio. Staff are college-aged, background-cleared, and must complete 45 hours of state-mandated childcare training.

Following NHTSA guidelines, large buses use compartmentalization. Energy-absorbing, closely-spaced seats protect children during impact more safely than belts in large vehicles.

Unfortunately, no. For the safety and security of all campers, only cleared Sunshine employees may supervise field trips, and all campers must return to the site for pick-up.

Yes, but it's not required. Money can be used for extra snacks or games. You can give money to our Front Desk staff in a labeled bag for safekeeping.

Yes! In partnership with the Broward School Board and Victory for Youth Services, meals are provided at most locations. Check our site for specific school locations.

Activities include organized games, weekly field trips, arts and crafts, STEM activities, swimming/water parks, themed weeks, and quiet reading time.

Campers should arrive with bathing suits under clothes and bring a towel, change of clothes, and labeled spray sunscreen in a bookbag.

CSC campers get 6-7 weeks of lessons. Recreational campers swim at the YMCA. All take a swim test and receive color-coded wristbands (Red, Yellow, Green) for safe access.
