Easterseals Wisconsin Camps

Easterseals Wisconsin Camps are the longest, continuously running Easterseals camps in the nation. Since 1938, the camps have offered experiences of a lifetime and respite to families for children and adults with disabilities throughout Wisconsin. Veterans Family Camp is held twice a year as part of Easterseals Wisconsin Camps.

• Price: Veterans Family Camp is FREE to veterans and their families.

Since 1926, Easterseals Wisconsin has provided a variety of programs designed to help people with disabilities live independently, become self-sufficient, and enjoy life more fully. The organization currently serves close to 10,000 children and adults with disabilities and their families each year and is one of the oldest charitable organizations in the state. Its mission is to increase independence, maximize opportunities, minimize barriers, and enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities. Christine Fessler serves as Easterseals Wisconsin President & CEO.

Serving as a model for similar programs nationwide, the FARM Program helps farmers return to farming after a disabling accident or illness. Veterans Family Camp offers a unique camping experience to veterans and their families and is held twice a year, giving them a chance to network and reconnect. One parent noted that AmeriCorps members and camp counselors at the veterans camp weekends are trained to care for children with disabilities, which allows the adults to participate in activities such as the adults’ dinner and Quilts of Valor ceremony held on Saturday night.

Easterseals Wisconsin launched a revitalized brand in September 2017. The new logo design features rays of light, hope, and sunshine radiating out from the “e” and a deliberate grouping of circles symbolizing breadth, scope, network, communities, and individuals served. The primary brand colors are Easterseals orange and Easterseals yellow, with a secondary color of blue.
