[blparent] camping

Wed Apr 25 23:24:32 UTC 2012

Thanks so much for the helpful info LM.  This sounds like something we will
definitely have to do in the future.  Can you tell me, are there many
families that bring toddlers?  In your experience, what is the average age
of the kids that attend with their families?  I know all aged minors
probably go but is there often times more elementary kids than say little
tots or high schoolers?

Thanks,

Erin

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.
