Fairlee Vacations 2017-2018 Fairlee Vacation Program Description Easter Seals 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.
