Tropical Smoothie Cafe brings warmth to Maine this February
The fast-casual brand continues Camp Sunshine support with a winter session sponsorship
CASCO, Maine, Feb. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- When you think about the word "camp," a very distinct set of images come to mind. Depending on your personal experiences with camping as a child or an adult, these images may include scenes of swimming, fishing, hiking, crafting, spending time in nature and relaxing by a campfire. Typically, these images are rooted in warm weather activities, but for families with children battling life-threatening illnesses, the need for rest and rejuvenation isn't seasonal. Camp Sunshine located in Maine – a state known for being both a summer playground and a winter wonderland – is meeting that need during all seasons; and Tropical Smoothie Cafe is helping make that happen this February from the 14 – 18.
With 22 sessions held annually that can accommodate up to 40 families per session, Camp Sunshine is a true year-round camp that highlights the opportunities created by Maine's hearty winters as much as those available in the summer months. Families join others in sipping hot cocoa by a roaring fire, ice skating and snowshoeing. Simple experiences that turn into cherished memories making the winter camp experience a necessity for the families Camp Sunshine serves. Tropical Smoothie Cafe helps the "sunshine" all year long.
