Easter Seals’ camps offer children and adults with disabilities the same excitement and activities available at other camps. 

For 40 years, campers and volunteers from all walks of life have come together for this one magical week of camp. Activities include crafts, hayrides, talent shows, dances, swimming, horseback riding, canoeing, archery, hiking, concerts, storytelling, and a high and low ropes course.  

In order to continue this tradition in the future we will still need your support. Your donation ensures that no one who wants to attend is denied the opportunity to experience the joys and challenges of camp in a fully-accessible setting.

The Camp Experience

"Going to camp opened my eyes and changed the person I was inside and out. I saw how everyone was being treated and I realized that all I wanted all these years was... to be treated like everyone else. This is the best experience I ever had." - Lora Glassman
