WHERE You’ll BE Staying , whose your family pal and more!
Welcome to your Olson 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 Dr. Amy Yeung
In addition to being our in person medical rep for Sun Escape, Dr. Amy Yeung is also an EPP patient herself. When asked what volunteering at Sun Escape would mean to her Dr. Yeung, a returning volunteer from the past two years, wrote “As a child with EPP, I had so much trouble trying to go to normal camp. I'd love to help again at Sun Escape, a photosensitive camp I wish I had at that age.” Amy is newly married and we are excited to have her husband Phil with us as a volunteer as well at camp.
Contacting Dr. Amy
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. Dr. Amy’s email is below. We have also shared with Doc 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 BLUE
The Families in Your Blue Group Will Be
The May Family - XP (Washington)
The L Murphy Family - XP (New Mexico)
The Little Family - XP (Virginia)
The Konefal Family - XP (New York)
The Olson Family - XP (Washington)
The Lock Family - EPP (Canada)
The Sandoval Family - HCP (Texas)
The Holguin Family - HCP (New Mexico)
You will be staying in our Richmond Cabin with the Lock Family
This Canadian family of 4 has an EPP daughter named Charlie. “We are SO looking forward to reuniting with the other families and hopefully spending more time with them,” the family wrote. “Hoping Charlie is feeling more comfortable this year too to connect to her peers and build those relationships to help her feel less alone. Its a weekend we have come to look forward to every year more and more.”
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 Lock 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!
