Let’s Get Active

Move, Play, Learn!

Let’s Get Active focuses on developing fundamental movement skills and physical literacy.

Our Let’s Get Active Program allows individuals to explore their balance, motor skills, and flexibility using hula hoops, parachute games, balls, bean bags, and more. During this program, we introduce participants to basic skills used in para-sports such as Wheelchair Basketball, Boccia, and Baseball. The sessions focus on fundamentals, station play, introduction to parasport, group play, and cooperative play.

Easter Seals NL assists our participants in reaching their physical activity goals in a fun, exciting, and rewarding way by engaging them in challenging games and activities. Some goals may be “I want to use my walker or wheelchair better”, “I want to play baseball”, or “I wish to throw further.”

Let’s Get Active is divided into 3 Sessions based on interest and engagement levels. ESNL Recreation Staff may move participants to a different session if it’s a better fit for their age, abilities or interests. This helps make sure everyone has a fun and comfortable experience.

  • Stories of Success

“When my son was younger he and his friends used to play all the time. As his friends grew up they started to play stand-up sports and he began to feel left out. This all changed when he found Easter Seals. Here he feels included with life-long friends. I can’t describe the pride I feel when I see him laughing at wheelchair basketball.”
