Camp Sunnyside

The Easterseals programs have worked with families for almost a century to provide enrichment, support, and resources to people with special needs. They understand the difficulties of everyday life for people and families who have challenges with regular day-to-day activities.

There are different programs for a broad range of ages, from four-year-olds up to twenty-one-year-olds. Each program is designed specifically with the needs of the individual in mind. You can select summer camps with trusted caretakers to take a break and allow your child to have a wonderful school break. Some sessions last for days and include activities such as horseback riding, sports, arts and crafts, and swimming, encouraging your loved one to work on personal goals and skills.

If you or your older teenager is interested in becoming a helping part of this camp, there's also an option to become a camp counselor. They teach campers how to understand the needs of others, how to best care for others and become a leader. These full day camps tend to run Monday to Friday from 8 am to 5 pm.
