If you are willing to come to Northern California there is Enchanted Hills camp, which is run by the Lighthouse for the Blind of San Francisco. The camp is located in the Napa area. It is really an incredible camp and the staff are great. They offer three family camp sessions, one in June and two in July. You can get more information here:

Good luck! I hope it works out for you.

Hello,

If you are looking for a camp in So Cal then it would be Camp Bloomfield.  The good thing about it is that they do offer family camp as well as an individual camp.  I would suggest you see their site and you'll be able to pick the session that would work for you and your daughter.  Camp Bloomfield is part of Junior Blind of America and they have great programs.    

My husband and son did go a few years ago and my husband did have some concerns.  I will say that giving our input and the input of so many others they have worked at working out the kinks.  It's to the point that they have already signed up for the first family camp in June.

I know I won't find the ideal camp for her. That's why I wanted to try a family camp first. Age appropriate won't do any good seeing how she is 11 and a 5th grader, but at about a 3rd grade comprehension. And if I send her to something between 8 and 10 years of age, she may stick out a little too much seeing how she is almost 5' 6" and doing kid games with little ones becomes even more difficult.
