CAMP Rehoboth’s SunFestival and Sundance returned to Rehoboth Beach Convention Center Labor Day weekend, when hundreds of partygoers enjoyed fun, food, comedy and dancing to raise funds for CAMP Rehoboth’s essential health, wellness, arts and advocacy programming. The weekend event started Sept. 3, with a silent and live auction, and a performance by Emmy-winning comic Judy Gold. Sunday night’s Sundance featured dancing to legendary Studio 54, Palladium and The Saint DJ Robbie Leslie at Sundance Disco Twilight. The night concluded with remixer and producer DJ James Anthony.

SunFestival weekend is the biggest fundraiser of the year for CAMP.

“CAMP Rehoboth was thrilled to bring this long-standing, Labor Day weekend tradition back this year and to see over 1,700 supporters come together in celebration of another summer’s end,” said CAMP past president Chris Beagle. “We are incredibly grateful for the support of those donors and sponsors who helped us well-surpass our fundraising goals, and we extend sincere thanks to our dedicated staff, board and over 100 volunteers who worked tirelessly to deliver SunFestival 2022.”
