Camp
Easterseals Louisiana Campership Program is in partnership with Camp Hardtner in Pollock, LA, which annually hosts their Able Camp one-week session every summer.
Overview
From campfire sing-a-longs and late-night ghost stories to boating, nature walks, swimming, and arts and crafts, Camp Able provides the same excitement and activity available at other summer camp programs. The difference? Camp Able's campers experience the joys and challenges of camp in an accessible setting. Through sessions at Camp Able it is our goal to provide a healthier, happier, longer, and more productive life for children and adults of all abilities.
After a camp session, your loved one will return with:
- A renewed sense of independence
- New friends

For Logan, camp isn’t just a week—it’s the best week of his life. His excitement is so contagious that his family plans their vacations around it, and he’s already counting down the days until camp in 2025.
Logan treasures every moment at camp, from enjoying meals and craft time to swimming, family group activities, and cabin bonding. He even brought home three camp shirts, wearing them proudly for three days straight after returning home. One of Logan’s favorite moments was the talent show, where he showcased his Saints trivia knowledge and lit up the stage.
Logan’s joy, enthusiasm, and love for camp embody the heart of Easterseals Louisiana’s mission to create spaces where everyone can shine and belong.
