Overnight Camp is also intentionally structured to give caretakers and families the gift of rest, knowing their Member is supported every step of the way.

ESPLAY is a joyful, music-filled experience designed especially for our youngest Members and their families. Through songs, movement, and shared play, ESPLAY creates a welcoming space where children ages 0–4 can explore sound, rhythm, and connection while building early social and developmental skills. Families are invited to participate alongside their Member, creating meaningful moments together in an environment that feels supportive, fun, and low-pressure.

Led by trained staff, ESPLAY is grounded in music therapy principles, using music intentionally to support communication, social interaction, sensory engagement, and emotional expression. While the experience feels playful and natural, each activity is thoughtfully designed to meet Members where they are and encourage growth through connection and joy.

Miracle League

The Miracle League brings the joy of baseball and play to children of all abilities by removing the physical barriers that can keep kids with disabilities from fully participating. In 2018, ESP announced a bold dream to bring a Miracle League facility to our community—creating a place where children can play freely, confidently, and together.

ESP Miracle League teams play on custom-designed, rubberized turf fields that allow every child to take the field. Beyond baseball, the Miracle League Playground offers universally accessible opportunities for recreation and connection—welcoming not only ESP Members, but families and children across the entire community. Here, children of all abilities play side by side, building friendships, understanding, and belonging that extend far beyond the field.

What to Expect

Accessible baseball experiences designed for children of all abilities
Custom turf fields that remove physical barriers to play
A universally accessible playground open to the broader community
Opportunities for children to play, learn, and grow together
