This program is designed to build the following character traits:

Independence: BC Easter Seals promotes independence through accessible facilities and programs, maximising autonomy for participants. Participants are able to choose activities they are most interested in, all of which are accessible to campers with either the support of staff, equipment, or peers.
Courage: BC Easter Seals promotes courage through programs like “New Camper Camp”. This program allows participants to attend a shortened overnight camp program, with the support of parents, caregivers, and other new campers to build community and confidence in sleeping away from home.

Easter Seals Virtual Summer Camp

Easter Seals [email protected] is a unique camp experience that allows for children, youth and adults to have personal, genuine camp connections online. Through interactive, fun and social online activities and programs, campers of all ages and diverse abilities learn with trained counsellors through role-playing game adventures, crafts, drawing, cooking and more.

Campers

Campers will find the same sense of community they have at overnight camp. Virtual camp will continue to be a place where campers can explore and develop their abilities in a safe, warm, fun and supportive environment, with weeks being divided into specific age groups and themes. Campers will be assigned a “Buddy Group” and have their very own counsellor for the week. They will meet virtually for various activities both in large all-camp groups and in their smaller Buddy Groups with the option of choosing which activities they would like to do. **Please note – campers will need to have a form of technology that allows them to access the video conferencing program Zoom.

Counsellors

Whether in activities together as a big group or in smaller group sessions, campers will have an experienced counsellor present at all times. Through live video streaming, counsellors lead discussions, offer mentorship, and cheer on campers during activities.

Activities

With a set daily schedule, campers will log in alongside their peers for engaging programming and social connection each day. Kids will be assigned a “Buddy Group” and counsellors will lead many of the loved traditions of camp, such as camp fire sing-a-longs and our famous Talent Show and Kangaroo Kourt.

Camper Kits

One week before camp starts, your camper will receive a Camper Kit filled with all the supplies they will need to do the weekly activities. Each week’s activities will follow a different theme and may include various materials for arts and crafts projects, books, games and more.
