Camp Easter Seal is a completely wheel chair accessible resort designed for
adults and children with disabilities. Located near Watrous at Manitou Beach,
the home of our Fall Mini Samboree, Camp Easter Seal offers a beautiful
environment of lake and wooded slopes. Camp Easter Seal is operated by the
Saskatchewan Abilities Council and is open June through August. Ten camping
sessions are offered. |

In 2010 our Provincial Organization presented a cheque to Camp Easter Seal for
$975. In 2011 following our Mini Samboree , we presented them with a cheque for
$1000.00.
Funds are raised by a raffle held each year at the Good Sam Mini
Samboree.
