Serving Washington for 70 years
Since 1974, Easterseals Camp Stand By Me has been an inclusive, barrier-free environment for children and adults with disabilities to experience all the joys of camp without limitations. Camp is about all the things children and adults can do: swim, ride horses, sing, eat s’mores, build life long friendships and more.
We offer week-long sessions in the summer and weekend respite in the fall, winter and spring. With low staff to camper ratios, and an on-site registered nurse, we can serve children and adults of any ability level.

Locations in Renton, Seatac, Seattle, Yakima
Camp Stand By Me gives children and adults with disabilities the freedom to be themselves and explore the great outdoors in a barrier-free environment.
Campers enjoy a beautiful day by the waters of Vaughn Bay ca. 1980. Since opening in 1974, Camp Stand By Me has hosted thousands of children and adults with disabilities.
Easterseals Olympic Peninsula Autism Center provides intensive, one-on-one Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children with autism throughout the Olympic Peninsula. ABA therapy is recognized as the most effective treatment for autism, and has enabled children across the country to lead fulfilling lives, and in some cases keep up educationally with their typically developing peers.
