Founded by educators and camp professionals who believe every child deserves an unforgettable summer.
Our story
A family-run camp, built on real relationships.
Sunshine & Smiles was created by Hanaya Ali and Joanne Horowitz as a family-run program, bringing together over 20 years of combined experience in education and summer programming.
Our big idea is simple: a real field trip every single day. It's why so many of our families come back year after year.

The faces behind the fun.
Dr. Hanaya Ali
Meet Hanaya Ali, our enthusiastic summer camp director! With a PharmD and MBA from Nova Southeastern University, she brings sharp organization and a big heart to every camp day.
Her background in cheerleading and coaching gymnastics ensures our campers have a blast — and her passion for family and kids is at the center of everything Sunshine & Smiles does.
Joanne Horowitz
Meet Joanne Horowitz, our dedicated summer camp administrator. With over a decade of experience in preschool education and managing a local school bus company, she keeps every day — and every ride — running smoothly.
Her passion for children shines through in everything she does.
What we stand for
Our camp values.
Safety First
Secure campuses, experienced staff, and clear procedures so parents always have peace of mind.
New Adventures Daily
No two days are ever the same — every morning brings a brand-new field trip and experience.
Family-Run Heart
We treat every camper like family because this camp was built on real relationships, not just programs.
Growth & Fun Together
We believe kids learn best when they're having fun — structure and excitement go hand in hand here.
