Fairlee Vacations 2017-2018
Fairlee Vacation Program Description
Easterseals provides exceptional services, education,
outreach and advocacy so that people with autism and
other disabilities can live, learn, work and play in our
communities. Participants with disabilities experience
safe, healthy and success-oriented recreational
opportunities. The philosophy at Camp Fairlee is to
provide a nurturing environment with: 1) choice of age
appropriate activities; interest and abilities of our
participants; and 2)The support which enables all to
participate to their fullest potential that supports
independence. Our Travel Trip program provides outdoor
recreation, fun and friendship in addition to seeing new
places for adults with disabilities.
The trips allow parents and caregivers a short interval of
rest and relief from the 24-hour responsibility of direct
care or service. Travel Trip activities vary by trip and
location.
Check-in is the evening prior to trip departure be-
tween 6:00pm and 7:00pm. Camp Fairlee cannot accept
responsibility for participants before scheduled check-in
time. Check-out will be the day we return from travel
in the afternoon between 2:oopm and 3:00pm.

If any changes are made to the participant’s medication
