IS OUR CAMPING PROGRAM RIGHT FOR YOU AND YOUR CAMPER?

The focus of the British Columbia Easter Seals Camping Program is to provide a over-night camping experience that facilitates growth in independence, self-esteem and peer-interaction for children and teens with disabilities. Our core is nature-based outdoor activities. Our staff creates a safe, warm, fun and supportive environment which allows campers to explore and develop their abilities.

We support campers with a wide variety of disabilities.  We welcome campers who identify with having  cerebral palsy, spina bifida, downs syndrome, foetal alcohol syndrome, epilepsy, global developmental delay, muscular dystrophy, seizure disorder, autism spectrum disorder, prader-willi syndrome, visual impairments, hearing impairments, angelman's syndrome, williams syndrome and others.

Although we continue to offer a generalized program that caters to a wide range of individuals with cognitive and/or physical disabilities, no single program can provide support for every individual. We recognize that our program is not suitable for campers with certain support needs. In order to continue to provide the highest possible care for all our campers, we reserve the right to refuse any camper who is considered unsuitable for our camping program. This includes, but is not limited to, individuals with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Chronic Mental Disorders/Psychoses, Emotional Disorders, Learning Disabilities, medically fragile individuals, or individuals whose behaviour could endanger themselves or others.
