Additional Services We Offer

Easter Seals camps – Camp Merrywood and Camp Woodeden – offer the rare gift of accessible and inclusive experiences, specially tailored for kids, youth, and young adults with physical disabilities. At camp, barriers disappear and campers can embrace new challenges, build confidence, and discover what they are truly capable of achieving.

Families of children with physical disabilities often incur significant additional expenses, making it challenging to send their child to post-secondary school. This is why we are so grateful to our donors who generously provide financial support to allow these students to pursue their academic dreams through the Easter Seals Ontario Scholarship Program.

Provincial Ambassadors have the opportunity to speak in front of audiences at major Easter Seals events, be interviewed by media for television, radio and newspaper coverage, meet-and-greet celebrities, meet other Easter Seals youth and past Ambassadors, and attend unique and fun events. The role is an excellent opportunity for youth to develop public speaking skills, gain confidence, acquire new skills and more.

Important Notice: Equipment Funding Program Availability (as of August 28, 2026)

The Equipment Funding Program (EFP) at Easter Seals Ontario is funded through the generosity of individual donors, fundraising events, corporate partners, and charitable foundations. As outlined in our program guidelines, funding assistance of up to $3,000 per eligible child is dependent on annual fundraising revenue and the availability of funds.

At this time, we have received a higher volume of funding requests than the funding currently available. While we will continue to accept requests for equipment funding, approvals will be granted in date received order and only as funding becomes available. As a result, applicants may experience longer-than-usual processing and decision timelines. While all eligible applications will be considered, funding approval cannot be guaranteed.

We understand that many families depend on this funding to obtain essential equipment and recognize the challenges that delays may create. Please be assured that our team continues to actively raise funds so that we can assist as many children and youth with physical disabilities as possible.

We appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support of Easter Seals Ontario as we work to meet the growing demand for equipment funding assistance.
