Easterseals Camp Growing Green
For campers with disabilities ages 10 to adult
Easterseals Camp Growing Green is an ACA accredited overnight camp held on the beautiful campus of the Pocono Environmental Education Center (PEEC) in the Pocono Mountains. Camp provides incredible opportunities for growth and development in a safe, nurturing environment staffed by Easterseals trained counselors. You can rest easy knowing your family member is in the care of compassionate, qualified individuals.
Campers gain environmental awareness and learn organic gardening in specially designed gardens while also enjoying traditional camp activities like hiking, canoeing, arts & crafts, games, music, swimming and campfires. An optional career experience track is available for campers who want to explore career opportunities.
Reconnecting with old friends, making new ones and getting along in a group are situations that require campers to practice communication skills, flexibility, cooperation and compromise. These critical skills are essential to success in school and at work. Living away from family members and with peers helps campers discover their inner resources and builds self-esteem.
Employment Experience Track
An optional employment experience track is available for campers who want to explore the world of work by spending part of the day job shadowing in food service, office and retail, or assisting counselors in PEEC summer groups. Campers in the career experience track also participate in our regular camp activities.
