(Kingsville, ON, July 19, 2019) As part of its ongoing commitment to inspiring healthy living, SUNSET® is sending 48 local youth who might not otherwise attend summer camp to “CAMP-ARI,” a week-long program at Gesstwood Camp and Education Centre in Essex, ON. The name “CAMP-ARI” is a tribute to SUNSET’s award-winning Campari® cocktail tomato, the first-ever branded tomato.

In addition to enjoying fresh air and memorable experiences, all 2019 Gesstwood campers throughout the summer will have access to fresh, greenhouse-grown SUNSET® fruits and vegetables at their camp meals and snacks.
“We’re grateful to SUNSET for their continued support, including the weekly donations of delicious greenhouse-grown produce they provide to help fuel the approximately 60 – 100 campers we host each week throughout the summer,” says Breanna Roles, Gesstwood Camp Director.
This is the second year SUNSET has sponsored Gesstwood, which provides year-round recreational programs. To date, SUNSET has completely renovated and winterized six cabins at the camp, including the latest Aloha Cabin, named for the company’s unique orange-and-yellow-striped bell pepper. Materials for the Aloha Cabin were provided by the United Church.
Gesstwood also got a new look, thanks to SUNSET’s award-winning creative team. They led the redesign of the camp’s logo, which was used on camper and staff T-shirts and bandanas that SUNSET supplied this summer.
