Support our vision for a barrier-free camp experience
Removing barriers for all campers
For more than 50 years, Camp Easterseals Nebraska has offered campers life-changing opportunities to develop independence and skills, healthy relationships, and increased self-esteem.
Camp Easterseals Nebraska has leased facilities for too long that cannot fully accommodate wheelchairs or other mobility and medical needs, but we have the opportunity to create an unmatched experience for people with disabilities in Nebraska and beyond. The entire camp will be constructed in a way that is fully accessible to everyone without the barriers of a typical camp environment.
With your support, we can build an environment that welcomes everyone, fosters growth and skill development, and leaves a lasting legacy for generations of campers to come.
