Since 1947, Easter Seals BC & Yukon has been providing programs and services to persons with disabilities and medical conditions. Over 1.1 million children and families have been helped through Easter Seals Camps, Easter Seals House, educational classes, community access services and post-secondary bursaries at regional colleges and universities.

Easter Seals Camps are a place where everyone is welcome and no one hears the word ‘no’. It’s a place where campers can be themselves, and explore and develop their abilities in a safe, warm, fun and supportive environment. Campers return home with new friendships, improved skills, and become more independent and active members of their communities. Camp offers both a magical experience for campers, and an important week of respite for families and caregivers.

Easter Seals House is a home-away-from-home for adults and families when they need to travel to Vancouver for medical treatment and is a place of respite for parents and caregivers needing a place to rejuvenate. It's a safe, affordable home they can count on to stay. Over 18,000 guests stay at the House every year.

“As a parent, it is great to have peace of mind that your child is somewhere safe and having a good time. It provides a nice break and I like knowing that Nathan is provided all the opportunities that any typical summer camp would offer. 

It is one of the biggest things that has added to his quality of life. And for us, as a family, the week that Nathan is away, gives us time to relax and do things with our younger son Jason that we can't always do the rest of the year."
