Welcome

The Austin Sunshine Camps are owned and operated by the Young Men's Business League of Austin. Founded in 1928, the Camps seek to teach life skills, self confidence, trust and teamwork, while providing outdoor fun through traditional activities like hiking, swimming, canoeing, and sports.

The Austin Sunshine Camps serves over 800 high-potential, low-income youth every summer, and their year-round leadership and mentoring programs serve many more. The Camps provide an overnight summer camp experience at NO COST to the children's families.

In 2009, Austin YMBL Sunshine Camps Challenge and Leadership participants logged more than 1,000 community service hours!  What an amazing success!  Activities included the MLK march, The Austin Marathon, the Blackshear Beautification Project and the Trail of Lights.  Community service is a vital aspect of our programs as we believe that in giving, you receive the most.  We are so proud of all of our Challenge and Leadership students.  Thank you for contributing to our community!

At the end of 2009, Austin YMBL Sunshine Camps had a holiday toy drive.  Thanks to the amazing generosity of donors, we were able to provide gifts and food to 110 disadvantaged kiddos in Central Texas.  A special thank you to Greystar Properties, Austin Sport and Social Club and all the amazing individuals who stepped forward to buy, wrap and deliver gifts.
