Serving more than 76,000 people each year, Easter Seals camping and recreation facilities offer individuals of all ages and abilities the opportunity to experience the joys and challenges of summer camp in a fully-accessible setting. Easter Seals offers three types of camping programs nationwide to address the diverse needs of the children and adults they serve. Among the available programs are day, residential and respite camps. Easter Seals day camps generally provide a full day of activities including arts and crafts, swimming, nature, music, sports and special events, as well as transportation to and from camp. Day camps serve individuals age 5 and older with disabilities, both cognitive and physical, ranging in nature and severity.
Sessions are divided according to age and ability.
Easter Seals respite camps serve children and adults with the most involved physical, emotional, cognitive and behavioral disabilities, including some medically-fragile individuals. The number of campers at Easter Seals respite camps are fewer than those at other Easter Seals camps to meet extensive personal needs. Hours, duration, activities, eligibility requirements, transportation availability and tuition vary from camp to camp. Copyright, Privacy and Linking Policies. Read about our accessibility guidelines.
