The Saskatchewan Abilities Council/Easter Seals Saskatchewan and Boston Pizza hope to surpass their 2016 success and raise over $23,000.
Camp Easter Seal is the only barrier free, fully wheelchair accessible summer camp in the province and is located on the picturesque shores of Little Manitou Lake near Watrous. Each summer over 700 campers attend Camp Easter Seal and participate in summer adventures such as horseback riding, water skiing, themed dances, arts/crafts, camp outs and create memories that will last a lifetime. At a cost of $1,500 for children and youth to attend camp for one week, it is important to gain community support for this program. Several campers have specialized needs that require one-on-one care from Camp Easter Seal staff. Camp counsellors are well-trained individuals who can meet the complex and diverse needs of all campers. Full-time medical staff are also on-site. Camp Easter Seal is fully subsidized to the campers.
