Stories of Cheer from Our Campers
Logan, a 22-year-old from Thibodaux, has found a second home at Camp Hardtner/Camp Able, attending two years in a row. For Logan, camp isn’t just a week—it’s the best week of his life. His excitement is so contagious that his family plans their vacations around it, and he’s already counting down the days until Camp Hardtner 2025. Logan treasures every moment at camp, from enjoying meals and craft time to swimming, family group activities, and cabin bonding. One year, he brought home three camp shirts, wearing them proudly for three days straight. Logan lit up the stage at the camp talent show, where he showcases his Saints trivia knowledge.
Logan's joy, enthusiasm, and love for camp embodies the heart of Easterseals Louisiana’s mission. His story reminds us of the power of inclusion and opportunity, demonstrating that everyone deserves a place to shine and belong.
Nathan, from Thibodaux, found his home away from home at Camp Hardtner/Camp Able in 2024. His warm smile and big heart quickly won over the camp counselors and buddies, creating a bond that made his time there unforgettable. Nathan embraced every moment of camp by enjoying craft time, swimming, and the much-anticipated talent show, where he amazed everyone with his drumming skills. Camp has become an annual highlight for Nathan, and he’s eager to return in the summer of 2025.
Nathan’s journey reminds us of the importance of creating spaces where individuals of all abilities can thrive and share their unique gifts with the world.
