Help Give 100 Days of Camp to Kids with Physical Disabilities this Giving Tuesday!
With your help, we’re aiming to raise $15,000 this Giving Tuesday to give children and youth with physical disabilities 100 days filled with adventure, friendship, and independence at Easter Seals Ontario’s accessible camps.
Why is Easter Seals Camp Important?
Social and recreational activities are essential for a child’s development. However, children and youth with physical disabilities often face challenges that limit their participation.
Easter Seals Ontario’s summer camps — Camp Merrywood and Camp Woodeden — offer accessible camping and recreational programming designed specifically for young people with physical disabilities. Through our camps, we break down barriers to participation and enable campers to explore a wide range of activities, build confidence and independence, and develop the skills they need to unlock their full potential.
Camp: The Highlight of Their Year
Many campers look forward to Easter Seals camp all year. For some, it’s one of the few places they can stay overnight away from home while receiving the care and support they need. At camp, they spend time with peers who share similar experiences, make friends and try new activities in an environment designed for them. These days of adventure and connection can stay with campers long after summer ends.
Here’s What Your Gift Will Make Possible:
High ropes course: Imagine helping a child conquer fears 50 feet in the air on one of North America’s largest wheelchair-accessible high ropes courses at Camp Woodeden. Your gift gives them the thrill of achievement.
Sailing: With your support, kids with limited motor skills can set sail in specially designed sailboats, feeling the independence and excitement of gliding across the water.
Archery: Your generosity allows campers to take aim with a bow and arrow, using adaptive equipment that lets them experience the satisfaction of shooting on their own.
Swimming: You’ll help campers experience the freedom and weightlessness of the water, one of Camp Merrywood’s most beloved activities, where they can swim with friends in a fully accessible environment.
Sledge Hockey: There’s nothing like the thrill of scoring a goal! With your help, kids can lead their teams on the sledge hockey rink, feeling the exhilaration of teamwork and victory.
Rock climbing: Your gift helps kids reach new heights — literally! Our indoor rock-climbing wall is accessible, letting campers experience the joy of rock climbing in a safe, supportive way.
