“Disability only becomes a tragedy when society fails to provide the things needed to lead one’s daily life.” (Judith Heumann). As a society we need to do better. Worldwide over 1 billion people have disabilities, representing the largest global minority spanning a range of genders, races, sexual orientations, and generations. Disability Pride Month is celebrated every July and is an opportunity to honor the history, achievements, experiences, struggles of the disability community and to help provide solutions. At Easterseals our purpose is to change the way the world defines and views disability by making profound, positive differences in people's lives through exceptional programming. With your help we will continue to lead the way to 100% Equity, Inclusion and Access.

Easterseals Western and Central PA’s Club Lily program is a camp opportunity specifically for adults, 18 and up, with any disability/special need. And, when we say 18 and up, we mean it! Our oldest camper in 2018 was 77; proving that you are never too old to enjoy the fun of camp. How can you not have fun when there is wall climbing, zip lining, boating, fishing, arts and crafts, games, sports, pool time, campfires, special evening activities and more.
