Melissa, they said she's too young, they have to be 13 to be a helper, not a
participant.

The parent does have to provide lunch for the child everyday they are at NFB
camp.  You actually have to pick your child up during lunch so the staff
have a break.  If Gab is working camp though, you could probably provide her
a lunch and she might be able to eat it there with other staff members.  The
night of the banquet you actually do pay for a dinner for a child in camp.
I'm not sure how that translates for the staff, although I am pretty sure
they could pick something up extra for Gab as long as you pay for it.

Melissa, one more question about NFB camp, do you the parent have to supply
lunch for your child and/or dinner, like for the banquet.

The convention agenda will also be posted online at some point closer to the
convention.  I believe this is usually sometime around June 10 or so.  If
Gab likes kids and was interested I'm sure she is old enough to help out at
NFB Camp which is the child care.  She wouldn't have to help everyday, but
this would give her something constructive to do while you are in
sessions--since she is too old to be a child who is cared for.  There are
also a lot of other youth activities at convention, but I know obviously
many of them are geered toward blind kids.  Still, you may want to email
Emily Gibbs at the Jernigan Institute egibbs at nfb.org to see what is on the
horizon and if there are activities Gab could participate in.  
I hope this helps.
Melissa

Mrs. Jernigan sent out a tentative schedule to committee chairs, and Blind
Parents is listed in its usual slot, 7:30 Sunday evening.  I hope you can
join us!
