The theme for this year’s camp is, “I Can Lead!” Children love getting to know other blind and low-vision children as they learn Braille and other non-visual skills through games, crafts, interactive lessons, and field trips! They will learn from highly qualified teachers and confident blind adult role models. Your child is sure to come home with stronger skills, a network of new friends, and greater confidence to propel them through the next school year. For more information or additional questions please contact Richard Payne.
