"I had the opportunity to camp at Fairlee Manor every summer for 2 weeks for 5 years approximately 1957-1962. Two weeks every summer EasterSeals hosted children with heart issues. This experience was one of the best of my lifetime. I’m now 77 years old and will never forget this wonderful experience."

"My opinion isn't relevant as I wasn't a guest there. My son's opinion of the place is top notch. He has gone there three times and never had a real complaint. His counselors are great, the environment is terrific and the experience there and with the other campers couldn't have been better. He is already talking about it for next year."
