Yes. Sunshine & Smiles was voted Best of Florida in both 2025 and 2026.

Do you offer payment plans?

Is there a parent orientation?
Yes. We hold a parent orientation before camp starts, in person or via Zoom, so you know exactly what to expect.

Yes. Every camper receives a free Sunshine & Smiles T-shirt, worn every day of camp so our group is easy to spot on field trips.
