WHERE You’ll BE Staying , whose your family pal and more!
Welcome to your Nagata 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 DARLENE UEHLING
Darlene has EPP and is based out of California.
“I wanted to be part of something this cool when I was a kid growing up with EPP but there was nothing,” Darlene wrote. “With this being my first time volunteering, I am so excited to meet your family and make it your best Sun Escape yet.”
Contacting Darlene
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. Darlene’s email is below. We have also shared with Darlene 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 GREEN
The Families in Your Green Group Will Be
The Girao Family - EPP (California)
The Ludwig Family - EPP (Pennsylvania)
The Kypreos Family - EPP (Wisconsin)
The Nagata Family - Lupus (Arizona)
The Ventrice Family - EPP (New Jersey)
The Langley Family - EPP (England)
The Baria Family - EPP (Wisconsin)
The Ketterer Family - EPP (Colorado)
You will be staying in our Rockingham Cabin with the Kypreos Family
The Kypreos family of six is based out of Wisconsin with an EPP daughter, Addison, who everyone calls Sissy since she is the lone daughter amongst three other boys. A hockey family through and through, Shadow Jumpers assisted Sissy back in 2024 in renovating the family’s basement into a new sun safe space and bedroom for her while she recovered from liver treatment related to issues she had with her EPP.
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 Kypreos 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.

We cannot wait to see your family soon!
