More “All Fun” and “No Sun”

Shadow Jumpers and the United Porphyria Association have teamed up for SUN ESCAPE WEEKEND 2026 happening at Victory Junction in North Carolina.

We are looking for 38 volunteers to join our 32 photo-sensitive families in early May in celebrating all things Fun and all things No Sun in a way only we know how.

Our application window is expected to open in fall 2025. Please check back again for exact dates or follow Shadow Jumpers and the UPA on social media for more.
