Description
  • Easter Seals has been helping individuals with disabilities and special needs, and their families, live better lives for more than 80 years. Whether helping someone improve physical mobility, return to work or simply gain greater independence for everyday living, Easter Seals offers a variety of services to help people with disabilities address life's challenges and achieve personal goals.

    Camp - Without Barriers

    Camp is a summertime staple, a place where abilities are discovered, independence tested, lifelong friendships born and cherished memories made. But for children with disabilities and their parents, finding a fully accessible, adequately staffed camp can seem nearly impossible.

    To address the needs of children and adults with disabilities - and allow them to experience joys and challenges unique to summer camp - many camping and recreation facilities across the United States now offer fully-accessible camping. From campfire sing-a-longs to boating, nature walks, swimming, and arts and crafts, accessible camps provide all the excitement and activities available at mainstream summer camps.

    Accessible grounds and facilities, adapted equipment and trained staff make it possible for campers with disabilities to enjoy the most challenging aspects of camp life.

    To learn more, find a camp near you or contact Easter Seals.
