[blindkid] Summer Camps for the blind

[Keith Elliott]

National Camps for the Blind is sponsoring 14 camps for those who are blind in 2015.

Summer camps span North America, with canoeing, archery (yes, with balloons on the targets), horsemanship, tandem bicycling, talent programs, and much more. About a dozen camps will serve hundreds of blind campers this year.

   The one-week camps are the highlight of the year for campers, young and old. They appreciate making new friends and learning practical skills in an environment that encourages independence, wholesome activity, and high moral values.
Camps are open to legally blind children ages 9 and up. Visit blindcamps.org to learn where the closest camp is to you and to download an application. All camps are free to those who are legally blind.  Call 402-488-0981 ext 222 for more information.
