We're creating much more than a rural get-away.

Ray of Sunshine Camping & Glamping is a grassroots LLC that offers community-based activities, a safe space, and workshops. We are not a nonprofit. Kat has worked as a teacher and as a communications director for a nonprofit. She has seen how devastating it can be to rely on the government for funding, which has been shown to decrease funding in the arts, education, and nature preservation. 

Critical funding is cut on purpose.

Instead of classifying as a nonprofit and relying on governmental funding, we count on community. Friends, family, neighbors, collaborators, artists, makers, and supporters make this dream possible (and a whole lot of small-business loans, personal savings, and credit cards.)

Yes, it might take 10 people to contribute as much as a grant, but that shows the power of the collective-- Of standing together and supporting people who support others.

See Where Your Gift Goes

Fluffy White Clouds
Woman Owned & Family Operated

 

Ray of Sunshine Camping & Glamping was one woman's idea to build an inclusive community space while creating income for her family farm. Donating helps diversify and strengthen funding sources.

Supporting a Rural Economy

 

Fund projects that improve the farm experience for years to come. Your gift goes to start-up costs and local makers. Expenses like water wells, cabin supplies, and agritourism activities support locally-owned, family businesses.  

You'll be Part of Something Bigger

 

Giving means investing in a future that revolves around community where land, art, and people come together to heal, create, and grow. It’s reimagining what this land can be.

Hands in the Soil

Volunteer
