Camp Easter Seal hosts campers with intellectual and/or physical disabilities. Each camp session is 6 days long and is designed for a different age group and level of disability, with programming designed specifically for those individuals. In the summer of 2016, just over 600 campers attended Camp Easter Seal. For many campers, their time at Camp Easter Seal is something they look forward to all year long as an exceptional experience.

Camp Easter Seal is located at Manitou Beach, a small village in central Saskatchewan. It located 1 hour away from Saskatoon and 2 hours away from Regina making the commute achievable. Manitou Beach is a summer vacation spot for many tourists from Saskatchewan and Canada because of having one of the few remaining salt and mineral lakes in the world. Students will work a total of ten camp sessions each being six days long. There will be two days between each camp session where students must leave camp site. Room and board will only be provided during each camp session.
