[blparent] camping

Wed Apr 25 22:08:19 UTC 2012

Erin and Others,

I'm told family camp at Enchanted Hills is $150 per adult, $75 for
sighted children and free for blind kids. You can attend camp as long
as someone in your family is blind and in attendance. so because I'm a
blind mom we could go to camp for $375. It includes really great food
by the way.

Apparently, the two family camp sessions are already filled. However,
if there is enough interest LightHouse may consider a third session
this summer. We've never done that before and we may wait until next
year.
