Bring the family to join  Rotary Club of Southern Ulster​ and Pat Tarsio Lanes​ as we raise awareness and opportunity for Camp Sundown.  What an amazing retreat!!

Here's a snap shot on Camp Sundown:

When Dan and Caren Mahar's youngest daughter Katie was diagnosed with Xeroderma Pigmentosa (XP) they wanted her to have a "normal childhood" and to be able to go to camp. For children, like Katie, a day camp would be painful, and potentially life threatening. Children with XP can not stand even limited exposure to the sun or other types of ultraviolet light. The Mahar's dream of creating a "night camp" began in 1996 as an XP family retreat in Poughkeepsie, NY.  Thanks to many generous donors, in 2003, Camp Sundown Retreat House was opened in Craryville, NY.  

Camp Sundown is the single most important project of the XP Society which directly benefits and involves the XP family and patients. This unique to the world night camp program gathers families and scientists from around the globe to share support, recreation, information and friendship under the safety of the stars. An XP family retreat and medical conference combined helps the XP family feel less isolated in their situation, providing useful support and education to live our daily lives with XP.
