For Lydia, Easter Seals Camp is more than a week away from home. It’s where she discovered confidence, independence and a belief in herself.
Every year, Lydia saves the money she earns so she can return to camp. But this summer, she couldn’t go.
With Camp Shawnigan temporarily closed during construction, Lydia’s family would have had to travel farther to attend camp. As a single mother, Lydia’s mom, Lana, needed to stay within two hours of her, but couldn’t afford the additional accommodation and travel costs. Even with a generous donor covering Lydia’s camp fees, the distance made camp out of reach.
This is why an accessible camp on Vancouver Island matters so much. And it’s why donor support is so important. Lydia has experienced firsthand what camp can make possible. With your support, more campers can have that same opportunity. ❤️
