[Blindtlk] Colorado Center For The Blind Summer Programs

[Chris Nusbaum]

Back in March, the students division did a conference call on all 
the training centers and their summer programs, and had a 
representative on the call from each training center: Colorado 
Center for the Blind (CCB,) BLIND Inc.  in Minnesota, Louissianna 
Center for the Blind (LCB,) and Blind Industries and Services of 
Maryland (BISM.) I'm not sure if they've fixed the site yet, but 
if they have, you can find a recording of that call on 
nabslinkaudio.org.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind, 
1968-1986

 The I C.A.N.  Foundation helps blind and visually impaired youth 
in Maryland say "I can," by empowering them through providing 
assistive technology and scholarships to camps and conventions 
which help them be equal with their sighted peers.  For more

I'm not sure of the cost now, but I can tell you, having worked 
there for several years, that it is well worth the cost.  
Students get a short course in all the skills of blindness, as 
well as some great fun, including rock climbing, rafting, 
amusement parks, and learning to do things independently.  They 
live in apartments with other students, and a counselor.  Call 
and talk to Brent Batron, who runs the program.

Hi,  Have any of you been to the Highschool Collorado Center 
summer program?  If so, what is it like?  Did you enjoy it?  How 
much does it cost to participate?
Thanks,
Lauren
