Residential and Day Camp From campfire sing-a-longs and late night ghost stories, to boating, nature walks, swimming, and arts and crafts, Easter Seals camps provide the same excitement and activity available at other summer camp programs. The difference? Easter Seals campers experience the joys and challenges of camp in a fully-accessible setting. |

Work at an Easter Seals Camp Easter Seals camps offer a variety of locations and employment opportunities. Each year there are hundreds of job openings for men and women. Join our team of committed staff and volunteers who provide recreation and leisure activities to children and adults with physical or cognitive disabilities.

Recreation and Sport The value of recreation is at the heart of one's ability to enjoy life, develop important life skills, and create social relationships and networks. Recreation programs provide all people, including those with disabilities, the freedom to make choices, to initiate selected leisure activities, to develop and pursue life goals, and to develop and deepen relationships with family members and friends. |
|
Respite Easter Seals respite programs make a double difference, serving both people with disabilities and those who care for them on a day-to-day basis. Respite programs give participants an opportunity to engage in social and recreational activities, while their families get a much needed break from the demands of caregiving. |
