Camp

Each year, Vision Resources hosts week-long summer day camps for children and teens who are blind or have low vision. These camps expose students to developmental, sensory and social activities that encourage them to push their comfort boundaries in the context of fun.

Adventures Beyond Site camp is scheduled for the week of July 24-28, 2023. 

Vision requirement – 20/70 in better eye with best correction. Students entering 3^rd through 12^th grades.  Non-physically aggressive to self or others. Non-verbally abusive. Typically no mentally challenged, but campers with mild learning disabilities and/or mild mental challenges may be accepted upon review or based on previous attendance. Campers must be independent in all aspects of daily living skills and continent. Staff will provide appropriate mobility assistance including sighted guide, dining assistance, and verbal prompting when needed. Campers must self- dress (change clothes before/after swimming), self-feed, be verbal, and follow directions, rules & policies.

To explore if our summer camp is an appropriate match for your visually impaired child / student / client, please contact the camp director:  Treassa Strawn.   There is a registration fee, but no cost for the actual summer camp.
