Camp ESN Programs

Our Programs

Fun! Friendship! Play! Easterseals Nebraska provides engaging, healthy, and lively programs in all our programs. With low staff to camper ratios and an on-site Registered Nurse, we can serve children and adults of any ability level. We can't wait to see you there!

2021 Update

Due to the unpredictable nature of COVID-19, for 2021, Camp Easterseals decided to mix up the programs we deliver. We hope by offering a little of a lot, that if we were needing to pivot or cancel one particular program, we would still have alternative programs for campers to participate in. Space in each program session is very limited due to COVID safety measures. In addition, some of our sessions have different eligibility requirements due to the accessibility of sites we will be utilizing, however, we have something for everyone.

While we have back up plans for our back up plans, if we feel we are unable to safely support campers, there is still a possibility some of our programs could potentially be cancelled. Easterseals Nebraska continues to monitor and follow local, state, and national recommendations and mandates in regards to COVID -19. In addition, Easterseals is in close contact with various infectious disease experts through Nebraska Medicine and Visiting Nurse Association. We currently are developing safety protocols, screening processes, and policies as it pertains to each program offered.

(Please note, that as of March 8, some sessions are not yet finalized. These are noted within the respective program pages and will be updated as we learn more information).

Our traditional camp program.
Varies from 1 night - 4 nights long.
