Who We Are
Shadow Jumpers is a 501c3 nonprofit that creates meaningful experiences and a sense of community to families in North America suffering from rare photosensitive conditions.
Since 2018, Shadow Jumpers has assisted families in renovating their homes to be more UV safe, organized sun proof and all expenses paid vacations, provide financial relief for related medical bills and created a ‘pay it forward’ protective clothing drive.
In May of 2024 Shadow Jumpers co-created SUN ESCAPE, a yearly camp that features a variety of activities purposely indoors or set in the late evening. Those activities include archery, horseback riding, zip lining, fishing, bowling, an indoor super dome, a petting zoo, arts & crafts and, in 2025, a water park – making it a one of kind sun safe experience.
Unique In Our Approach
Shadow Jumpers was created by patients, parents and medical professionals from the rare photosensitive community.
Our desire was to be a first of its kind nonprofit in this space that spoke to the common person’s ups and downs when battling the sun in addition to providing personal experiences to enhance in their day to day lives.
Board of Directors
Shadow Jumpers’ board consists only of people with a photosensitive condition, a parent or family member to someone with these conditions, and a medical professional working specifically in this space.
One of our 7 board seats is always held by a youth ambassador.
