WHERE You’ll BE Staying , whose your family pal and more!

Welcome to your Bovet Family assignment page! Here you’ll find all the details that will help you feel right at home for the weekend, including your Family Pal (your dedicated chaperone), your cabin assignment, the family you’ll be sharing your space with, and your color group.

Each of these selections was thoughtfully arranged in hopes of creating a fun, supportive, and connected experience for your family!

Your Family Pal for Sun Escape 2026 is MELBA JEAN MILLER

Melba has Solar Urticaria and currently resides in Delaware.

“Wow, how do I put this into words my experience last year and how it forever changed me,” Melba wrote. “Selfishly, I enjoyed being with families with a shared experience... nothing is more validating then being with those that have walked the same journey. I’m so excited to bond over our shared SU experiences and have a great year 2 at camp together.”

Contacting Melba

We encourage our families to reach out to their assigned volunteer via email prior to the start of camp to introduce themselves and get familiar prior to the start of Sun Escape. Melba’s email is below. We have also shared with Melba your family’s primary email address on file should she wish to also introduce herself or get in contact with you for anything Sun Escape related (ex: checking in with you about your expected arrival time)

Your Cabin & Color Grouping Information

At Sun Escape, each family is assigned a color group to help guide the flow of the weekend. While many activities are enjoyed together, your color determines the schedule your family will follow for certain program areas. Your cabin will match your assigned color, making it easy to stay connected with your group throughout the weekend.

Your assigned color group is YELLOW

The Families in Your Yellow Group Will Be

  • The Lazarus Family - EPP (South Carolina)

  • The Bovet Family - SOLAR URTICARIA (New York)

  • The Delorme Family - EPP (California)

  • The Komon Family - EPP (New York)

  • The Ouimet Family - EPP (Canada)

  • The Hynes Family - EPP (New Jersey)

  • The Wilt-Helmick Family - EPP (West Virginia)

  • The Mitchell Family - EPP (California)

You will be staying in our Phoenix Cabin with the Lazarus Family

The Lazarus are local to the Carolinas and both their father and daughter have EPP. When speaking about the experience for their daughter Claire last year, the family wrote “I can't even explain in words how meaningful last year’s sun escape weekend was for Claire but really our whole ]family. For the first time in our lives, we all felt seen, heard and understood. It was unbelievable to speak to others that "get it".

As a reminder, each family will have their own private side of the cabin which includes a bedroom and bathroom. Both families will share a common area. Should your family wish to connect with the Lazarus Family prior to Sun Escape, you can reach out to the family via their email address below. They have your email as well. While encouraged, connecting is not required.
