[Colorado-talk] 2013 BELL Program

[Jessica Beecham]

2013 Braille Enrichment for Literacy and Learning (B.E.L.L)

BELL:  A Summer Braille Camp for Kids

The BELL Program, a project of the NFB Jernigan Institute, is a two week
day camp experience for blind and visually impaired children ages 4-12.
Officially the letters B.E.L.L. stand for “Braille Enrichment for Literacy
and Learning”, but for the kids, the letters stand for F.U.N.   Both
beginners and more accomplished Braille readers will gain confidence in
reading and writing while engaged in games, crafts and exciting outdoor
activities.  There will be two BELL camps this year.  The BELL program in
Colorado Springs is being held from June17 through June 27, 2013 on the
campus of Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind (CSDB).  The second BELL
camp will be held in Westminster area from July 15 through July 26, 2013 at
the Rocky Mountain MS Center, which is located at 8845 Wagner Street.

families will be encouraged to volunteer at least one day during the
programs.   Cash donations will also be appreciated.  Transportation to and
