For more than 81 years, Easter Seals, a nationwide, nonprofit organization established to help children and adults with disabilities live more independent lives, has been putting hope within reach for millions of people with disabilities by helping them develop the skills they need to live with dignity, equality and independence. Founded in 1919 by businessman Edgar Allen, Easter Seals was one of the first organizations established solely to help people with disabilities. All Easter Seals locations offer scholarships and sliding-scale fees for services.
Fees vary from location to location.
To enhance development of children by providing them with a range of educational and health opportunities designed to help them reach their full potential. Participating in activities ranging from canoeing and fishing to wheelchair tennis and rugby, Easter Seals campers can realize their potential in a safe and accessible environment.

We offer an array of services to help children and adults with disabilities and their families cope with the emotional strain associated with their disability. The support system coordinates and provides educational services, group meetings and information and referral services.
