Camp Tidnish and Easter Seals Nova Scotia

Easter Seals Nova Scotia: Sending a child on their first over-night camp can be exhilarating and exciting. But it can also stir up anxiety and common pre-camp jitters; they re as much a part of camp as marshmallows around the bonfire. What if they re homesick? What if they dont eat?

Its beautifully located along the Tidnish River and has been providing authentic camp experiences for children and adults with disabilities for 77 years and Leaving home for a week every summer, joining peers to experience moonlit campfires, pontoon rides and life-changing adventures is a rite of passage for thousands of children and teens across Canada. But for parents of children and adults with physical or intellectual disabilities, sending a child away can often seem unobtainable and daunting. The what ifs are much greater and the stakes much higher. When a new camper family is interested, we discuss with them exactly how to give their camper the best seven day experience away from home, says Patti Sampson, camp director of Camp Tidnish.
