Day Camp

Day Camp is for school-aged children with disabilities and other needs. It is intended to be both fun and educational for all who participate! Campers will learn and participate in a setting that includes challenges, outdoor fun and building social relationships. Themed days/weeks include activities that will engage campers of all levels such as arts and crafts, group games, sensory activities, snack time, water play days, and special guests. Multiple weeks of camp are offered throughout the summer.

Please note that campers are expected to be able to follow verbal cues and directions. Campers needing one-on-one behavioral support as well as those having a fragile medical condition will be required to have a non-parental support person, over the age of 18, at each day of camp. Easterseals provides an overall staff-to-camper ratio of 1:4.

A Story From Camp

A unique aspect of Summer Day Camp and any program supported by Easterseals is everyone has the chance to participate. If the camper is physically or intellectually unable to participate, staff find a way to modify the activity with adaptations. One popular activity at summer day camp is building pine cars and then creating tracks to race them. A young girl in a wheelchair couldn’t get on the floor to help build the track. Instead, staff created a larger track that she could race on in her wheelchair. The girl and fellow campers loved it and had a great time racing their cars with her.
