Camp is about all of the things children and adults CAN do: swim, play, archery, eat s'mores, build lifelong friendships, and more. Easterseals Camp Stand By Me in Vaughn, WA provides an inclusive, barrier-free environment for children and adults with disabilities to experience all the joys of camp without limitations.
We serve campers aged 7 through the lifespan. We are proud to offer recreational opportunities to adults with disabilities, who often don’t have many recreational resources.
