Extra Special People (ESP)

Purpose Programs

Purpose Programs extend ESP’s mission beyond our campuses and into everyday life and a National audience. These initiatives create sustainable impact by opening doors to meaningful employment, sparking conversation in the real world, and inviting people to engage with purpose in tangible, repeatable ways.

They are not side projects.
They are expressions of belief—built to activate ability, create opportunity, and change how communities see people of all abilities.

For nearly 40 years, Extra Special People (ESP) has built spaces where people of all abilities are seen, supported, and celebrated. What began as a single week of summer camp has grown into a multi-community organization offering year-round programs, family support, and meaningful opportunities for connection, growth, and independence.
