Fairlee Vacations 2017-2018

Fairlee Vacation Program Description

Easter Seals provides exceptional services, education,

outreach and advocacy so that people with autism and

other disabilities can live, learn, work and play in our

communities. Participants with disabilities experience

safe, healthy and success-oriented recreational

opportunities. The philosophy at Camp Fairlee is to

provide a nurturing environment with: 1) choice of age

appropriate activities; interest and abilities of our

participants; and 2)The support which enables all to

participate to their fullest potential that supports

independence. Our Travel Trip program provides outdoor

recreation, fun and friendship in addition to seeing new

places for adults with disabilities.

The trips allow parents and caregivers a short interval of

rest and relief from the 24-hour responsibility of direct

care or service. Travel Trip activities vary by trip and

location.

Check-in is the evening prior to trip departure be-

tween 6:00pm and 7:00pm. Camp Fairlee cannot ac-

cept responsibility for participants before scheduled

check-in time. Check-out will be the day we return

from travel in the afternoon between 2:oopm and

3:00pm.
