The 2010 camping season is fast approaching. Planning is already well underway for another amazing summer. Along with the traditional residential camp programs, this year Easter Seals Ontario will be introducing a 6-day ‘Out-tripping Adventure Camp’ for youth 12 – 18 years of age. Enjoy the opportunity to learn how to paddle a canoe, sleep in a tent and cook on a camp stove. This program will be offered August 14 – 20, 2010 at Easter Seals Camp Merrywood in Perth.

Through the generosity of our many donors, Easter Seals is able to offer a world-class recreation experience for children and youth who have a physical disability. Easter Seals camps are proud to create an environment, which fosters autonomy and self-esteem. As a result, campers leave camp not only with new skills and friendships but also with a new sense of accomplishment, pride, and independence.

Easter Seals Ontario will again be offering the Recreational Choices Funding Program. Last year over 350 children and youth participated in this exciting program.
