> WABS (Wisconsin Association of Blind Students) has a event almost every or every 
> other month. We do a lot of things such as: shopping trips, sledding, skiing, 
> parades, rock climbing, goalball, camping, student seminars, a big variety of 
> fund raising, team building, we've also done mini travel races, and taken some 
> public transit trips like riding a train and a ferry (not normally available in 
> Wisconsin). I know i am missing a lot but the key we have found to be the most 
> successful is having a fun event with a student/employment focus. We also do a 
> lot of employment and life activities to help those who aren't in school but 
> want to participate. For example, We've had state conventions where we have 
> added a WABS event like goalball on Sunday afternoons or such as a camping event 
> where we have done talent shows, and 3 employment/students session (canes vs 
> dogs, job interview skills, and advocating), and tried to attend a water/theme 
> park (that's when WI had the flood so that didn't work out). Those are just 
> some ideas we have done if they're helpful. 
> Good luck,
