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.

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.

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.

As a veteran service-provider for children and adults with disabilities, Easter Seals meets the need for accessible camping with 140 camping and recreation facilities across the country. Day and residential camp sessions, as well as weekend and after-school programs, are available. (Hours, duration, activities, eligibility requirements, transportation availability and tuition vary from camp to camp.)
