Our Club Lily Weekend Retreat is a great way to take a break from your everyday activities and enjoy nature, games, friends, and fun! Activities will include arts and crafts, group games, a climbing wall, bonfires and more! You don’t want to miss out on this great weekend!
Our weekend retreat is for adults of all functioning levels. We staff the weekend at a 1:3, counselor to camper ratio. There will be a certified/licensed Health Staff at camp toassist with medication administration and basic health concerns. Our exceptional staffgoes through trainings and is dedicated to providing the best care possible for all of ourcampers. In order to maintain the highest quality of care with our ratio we ask thatcampers needing one-on-one behavioral support as well as those with fragile medicalconditions bring a non-parent support person, over the age of 18, to camp with them (we handle these circumstances on a case-by-case basis and ask that you contact us if you feel that your camper may fall into this category).
This weekend, subsidized by in part by the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, Highmark and the PA National Guard, is specifically for the children (with and without special needs) of active military members and veterans. The camp is an opportunity for Easter Seals to serve our military families and it’s a great chance for the kids to get away and enjoy some time at camp. We will be playing games, doing arts and crafts, trying out the climbing wall and zip line, eating s’mores and so much more! Join us for one of these fun weekends!
