SONshine kids brings together Orthodox Christian families in the Bay Area for fellowship, activities, and to build pan-Orthodox community for families and children.
SONshine kids has three main types of activities:
Various kid-oriented fellowship events such as playdates at parks, retreats, monastery trips, etc. throughout the year. This page will be updated with announced events.
Service events, such as donation drives.
A summer day camp held at St. Christina. The last camp in 2025 was scheduled for Monday, July 28th through Friday, August 1st, meeting from 9a-12 noon each day. Activities included things like: scripture based lessons, arts and crafts, singing (both church and silly songs), and fun outdoor group games! Parents are always welcome to stay for the duration of day camp and enjoy fellowship with other families, too.
