Recreation and camp experiences create opportunities for children and youth to build confidence, develop friendships and experience a sense of belonging.

Yet young people with physical disabilities continue to face barriers to participating in recreation and camp programs. In Ontario, there are approximately 400 camps and outdoor recreation centres registered with the Ontario Camps Association — but less than 10 specifically accommodate children with physical disabilities.

Accessible camp and recreation programs are important spaces for connection, growth and participation.

At Easter Seals Ontario, we are proud to help create these opportunities through our accessible camp programs. But more investment in accessible recreation and camping opportunities is needed to help ensure more children and youth with physical disabilities can access the experiences every child deserves.

❤️ Yesterday, we recognized Red Shirt Day – a day to celebrate and promote accessibility and inclusion for people of all abilities.
Pictured here are members of the Town’s Accessibility Advisory Committee, Shawn Pankow, Mayor of Smiths Falls, Councillor Chris McGuire, Heidi Trick, Deb Smalls, Cory Agnew, and Lucie Bingley. Members proudly wore red in support of creating a community where everyone feels welcome, valued, and able to participate fully.
Red Shirt Day is a reminder of the importance of removing barriers - whether physical, social, or attitudinal, and working together to build a more inclusive Smiths Falls✌️
