Each year we strive to send a number of Louisiana children and teens with disabilities to summer camp. Easter Seals Louisiana is proud to cover the full cost of camp tuition. This program is made possible through donations to our Specific Assistance Program. We also provide additional funds to help with travel costs and necessary camp gear, when needed. How Can You Help? Sponsor A Child! It costs approximately $900 for a child to spend a 5 day session at the camp. These fees include full tuition for 1 summer camp session, the application fee, as well as additional funds to help the families with travel costs of getting their camper to and from Camp ASCCA. By sponsoring one of our campers, you can help allieveate the costs to their families and give them a summer they ll never forget!
