We are a non-profit / non-denominational Christian resource ministry for churches. We offer a variety of unique houseboating experiences for middle school, high school, and college age groups on the Sacramento River Delta and Lake Shasta located in Northern California.  We provide all the resources and coordinate the logistics so that you may participate with your students and model to your staff your unique philosophy of ministry.  Our staff will befriend your group with the love of Christ, encourage a biblical self-awarness in your students, model a Christ centered lifestyle, and challenge them to a deeper Christian commitment.  There is no other camp, ministry, or mission experience that will better train, equip, develop, and provide an opportunity for your students to grow in service, leadership, and maturity.  Sonshine began in 1975 when a group of people had the desire to help churches equip their people for ministry.  Since then, we’ve seen the Lord use our ministry to draw thousands of young lives to Himself.

We are a camp completely on water.  Put 13 students, 2 leaders from your group, and 2 Sonshine staff on a houseboat with skiing, wakeboarding, banana boating, swimming, tanning, and floaties galore; add Bible study, worship, sharing and you come up with one of the best weeks of your life!  Sonshine staff work with your leadership to custom tailor the most incredible week on your ministry calendar. The combination of your leadership, our equipment and staff, along with the incredible power of God’s Spirit makes it happen year after year.
