The Heroes of Camp Hemlocks

This summer marks the 54th season for Easter Seals Camp Hemlocks. It’s another welcomed opportunity for our disabled campers to bask in the sunshine, enjoy a boat ride at the pond, throw a line out at the fishing dock, swim in our totally accessible indoor pool or participate in any of the other activities adapted just for them. Located on 160 acres of nature at its very best, Easter Seals Camp Hemlocks provides an opportunity for each child or adult who comes to camp to totally engage themselves in an environment that focuses only on what they can do and respects their dignity and independence in a loving, safe and supported environment.

All this is possible because of the generosity of community partners like Sara’s Superb Herbs and Prides Corner Farms. As the owners of retail markets and garden centers, your support of this program will enable Prides Corner Farms to provide in excess of $150,000 in funding to Camp Hemlocks by the end of 2005. It is important for you to know, that no child or adult is ever been denied an opportunity to attend Camp Hemlocks because of caring and generous people like yourselves and the wonderful people at Sara’s Superb Herbs and Prides Corner Farms.

On behalf of all of us at Easter Seals Camp Hemlocks, please accept my personal thanks to each of you who makes the decision to support this program by purchasing Sara’s Superb Herbs for your garden center. Your extraordinary help has given the gifts of independence, ability, dignity, and freedom to children and adults with disabilities and made their lives richer for the experience!
