Camp & Recreation

Enjoy accessible camping and recreation with Easterseals. Our welcoming programs offer sports, crafts, and more for children and adults with disabilities.

Overview

Easterseals is proud to be the largest provider of recreation and camping services for children and adults with disabilities in the United States. We also offer respite programs to support caregivers and their families. 

Our camping and recreation programs provide safe and accessible spaces where people with disabilities are valued, respected, and accepted. We provide the best environment to try new things and make new friends in a welcoming and fun environment. Programs range from sports and fitness activities to after-school play and social activities. Children and adults with and without disabilities can experience the joys of a residential or day camp experience while developing independence, confidence, and a sense of self – while their parents and caregivers get much-deserved respite. 

Accessible Camping, Respite, and Recreation 

Easterseals offers both day camps and residential camps for children and adults. Respite opportunities for caregivers, including military family caregivers, are often available at select Easterseals locations. Contact your local Easterseals to learn more. 

These programs let campers discover and explore their interests, values, and talents while also creating lifelong memories. 

Our camps offer an array of accessible activities that all campers can enjoy.  

Activities include:  

  • Water sports
  • Archery
  • Arts and crafts
  • Campfires 

  • Horseback riding, 

    ...and much more!  

Social activities and community outings at Easterseals, both on- and offsite, offer opportunities that may not always be easily accessible to children and adults with disabilities. 

Easterseals locations across the country coordinate many recreational activities including sports leagues, Bingo, outdoor adventure activities, dances, aquatics, and more! Connect with your local Easterseals to learn what is available near you. 

Respite Services

Respite services allow both caregivers and the people for whom they're caring the opportunity to relax, recharge, and reconnect. Our respite services are designed to give caregivers a much-needed break from the stress of caregiving. 

Respite programs include activities like support groups and retreats for caregivers and sleep away camps and overnight stays for the person receiving care.
